New Piece
Things have been going well for me this year. It's been good to be home after Europe. I'm trying to finish a few paintings for a show that opens in September. This is the latest painting on the easel. "Light is the Lion that Comes Down to Drink" Oil on Canvas. the title is from a Wallace Stevens poem, "the glass of water".
The University has commissioned me to do a mural for their new student commons. It will be 6'x18' and will be the most money I've made from a single painting. I will be working on it all of the academic year and into next summer. The proposal was based on Raphael's School of Athens, which I had the opportunity to present to students on the study abroad trip in Rome.

OH MY GOSH! what amazing news about che mural commission. I'm making a vow right now that come hell or high water I will see your completed mural in person. I'm so excited that your artistic vision is been given this opportunity!!!! (excuse the gushing). I could instantly see Raphael's "School of Athens" in my mind, it was a painting we studied in my one fine arts class required for general ed. I can't wait to see how your vision unfolds.
