the latest thing

(detail)

So, here's the painting I'm working on now.
Totally in-progress.
4 x 5 feet.
It has collaged-in elements, (as many do these days).
But I've been starting with the collage elements at an earlier stage, and their colors and shapes tend to strongly influence the direction the painting takes. Even if I end up 'burying' the original element. In many ways this seems like a continuation of an earlier/on-going series (all 4 x 5 foot verticals, hmmm...) but the color is a bit different for me.
