JULY 2008
The paintings I've been doing for the last 4 years have been primarily 8 x 10 inches , because it is such an easy size to frame. also, I relocate frequently and small paintings are easy to pack up and leave with. I like to integrate a lot of texture (and hopefully detail) into my work. the three paintings that I sent you were done while in the u.s. army, but I got kicked out for pattern of misconduct in November. Fortunately I live a simple life and was able to save plenty of money while i was enlisted which allowed me to move to Puerto Rico and live/paint. I just got back to north Carolina two days ago and have plans to go work on a farm in Canada next month. the system of farms extends to New Zealand so hopefully I will also be able to live there for a while. I have an upcoming art show at the Bowdoin College student union in February, so I'm really looking forward to that. a lot of people should see my work and that seems to be the whole point of doing it.
