Yesterday both of the kids were sick with some odd stomach thing. I did take my studio photo, but I never had the time or desire to post it. So today is a two photo day!

Painter's Progress
Works in progress by Stephen B. MacInnis
Hope the kids are healing well…
This is after you have ‘cleaned up’, right?

Just came across this: At what point did Malevich and Mondrian leave all the rest out of their work, pare the objective down? There was a small Ralph Balson work that Christofides had also made reference to. It was blocks of colour overlaid and simply beautiful.
I have always admired these painters and while the hard-edge abstractionists never quite fitted me, I have the temperament and touch of a red-haired gestural painter. I felt that perhaps I need to go back. Control the mark making even more. Turn down the volume.
Once again I know it won’t last, next month I’ll return to Canberra for a return visit of the abstract expressionists and I’ll want the volume full blast.
