Paint, Pixels

{New Approach to a Familiar Subject}

I've made dozens of homestead paintings by now, and so preparing a new batch for two upcoming shows has been a good exercise in reevaluating a familiar subject and approaching it in a fresh way. In this series I'm using the marks made by my brites (square-headed brushes) to create a pixelated but ultra-painterly surface. I like using an ancient medium to achieve a new media treatment. (Perhaps a reflection of being woefully old-fashioned but willingly participating in the digital world.)

The shows go up in less than two weeks. Naturally, I am not done and still painting up a storm. Because that's how we do it in the Stockman family. *Sigh*
