New Reworked Work in Progress

The first two rows after I cut the large square-ish “holes” from the monoprinted construction fence fabric with the green painting seen through the holes. I hope to cut the holes in the remaining four rows hopefully after work sometime this week.

Updated Work: Holes in the Fences #3 Revisited

 

This is Holes in the Fences #3 Revisited. I collaged a layer of monoprinted texture of construction fence fabric, with the large holes removed, over the original painting, and added additional paint is on the new layer. It's the second of five 18”x24” paintings on board from my Holes in Fences series created in 2010. Each painting has one color from the rainbow in the background.

More Reworked Work in Progress

I may be finished reworking from my purple Holes in Fences series painting created in 2010. I’ll hang it on my wall tomorrow and decide.

More Reworked Work in Progress

I had time to do some more work on the purple painting I'm reworking from my Holes in Fences series created in 2010. I outlined the square-ish “holes” from the monoprinted construction fence fabric with teal paint, and I chose the colors to fill in the squares at the intersection of the gridded fabric. More next weekend or sooner.

Updated Work: Holes in the Fences #4 Revisited

 

I started reworking five 18”x24” paintings on board from my Holes in Fences series created in 2010. Each painting has one color from the rainbow in the background.

New Work in Progress: Dates in a Life Walking Project 2025

This is the month of February 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 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 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.

There are 12 days in the second and third week where I outlined the icons that day in Teal, to represent why I didn't walk more than usual. On Super Bowl Sunday I fell very hard on black ice. While I didn't break anything, I had (and still have) soft tissue bruising and was either in too much pain to walk or was very afraid to walk outside due to ice. 

The four days where the icons are four vertical lines (IIII), I only walked 1000 steps. I have never in nine years walked that little, even after donating my kidney, when I had to walk a mile in the hospital, which is 2300+ steps.

The picture below shows January and February with plenty of room for the rest of the year.
