Work in Progress: Dates in a Life Walking Project 2025

Here is the month of July in my Dates in a Life Walking Project 2025 painting, a year-long painting documenting the number of steps I walked each day. I have documented my steps in paintings since 2016.

The black icons represent up to 9999 steps walked each day, red represents 10,000-19,999 steps and yellow represents 20,000-29,999 steps.

I was only able to walk 10,000 steps or more on only four days in July because it was not only hot most of the month (nine or more days over 90 degrees), there was also record breaking humidity. Both really limited my walking for exercise.

The Iridescent Bright Gold background paint used to signify the days (mostly weekends, but also including holidays, vacations days, and sick days) I was not at work, which usually gives me more time to walk for exercise than the days I am at work, with the exception of sick days (of course).

The second picture shows January through July with plenty of room for the rest of the year.

Traces of Past Fences #1-12 Update

This is the Traces of Past Fences #1-12 series that I created in 2010 from the large drop cloth I used (back then), which I cut up and mounted on twelve 9" x 12" cradled boards.

The series was in the deCordova Museum (in Lincoln, MA) Corporate Art Loan Program, and had a number if placements in buildings in the Boston are starting in October 2011. I brought them home on July 11, 2025.

My plan is to add a layer of monoprinted textures of construction fence fabric on all twelve of the original paintings, and add additional paint. They will then renamed Traces of Past Fences Revisited, similar to my recently updated series, Holes in the Fences Revisited.
