Figure at Work Show, Spring 2008


Starting in March of 2008 I will be organizing a show at our local museum of Art here in Friday Harbor. The show's theme is the figure at work. I am working on a series of commercial fishermen. Other people are creating pieces that embody the idea of work in different ways. Here is a 30" x40" oil on canvas in the very early stages of the painting. Just blocking things in with thin washes of turp and paint so far. I like this stage when you can move things around, wipe off, start over.
