and it's often quite green."

The two bottom paintings, the "walnut studies" (in brown) are unfinished in the studio,

where they'll sit for a couple of years while i ruminate their conception;

that if a Tree were to document it's own "life decisions", what might that look like?

​

They'll probably go three-dimensional.

That's a big reason that i work on plywood, so i can cut the paintings up and attach things to them.

​

The other big reason is that canvases wouldn't last a week in my studio.
