May I present my first two completed paintings of 2020 and the current #wip:

Watermelon Sugar, paint (mostly oil), mixed media and collage on board, dimensions tbc

The Assassination of Dr. Queso Empanada, paint (mostly oil), mixed media and collage on found board, 100 x 80 cm, 2019-20-infinity.

and Walden Pond, paint (mostly oil), mixed media and collage on found board, dimensions tbc

I actually actually began The Assassination of Dr. Queso Empanada around this time last year and thought it to be finished, but yesterday I decided to write the French expression ‘To understand all is to forgive all’ in the gray area. So, in a sense it took me a whole year to paint, or at least a year long hiatus to finish.

But then this got me thinking - as an essential element of the painting is a copy of the book ‘The Power of Now’ (on blue shelf), a book which I continually refer to, maybe this painting will never really be finished? 😲😨
