more interested in being than improving these days
I’ve been wanting to experiment with painting landscapes for a long time now, and i finally bit the bullet and picked a photo from our anniversary trip to Iceland in 2010 to paint from and present to my lovely bride for an anniversary gift.
Painting with gouache is really different than acrylic in a number of ways. I had a blast making this painting and learned quite a bit along the way. I’m going to start another one of these soon.
Today i was getting inspired at the playground. The light was just right, and the kids were occupied. I hope these images become fodder for paintings.

Started up on this painting I’m making for my lovely (former) coworker, Libby. These will end up pasted on an old window from her house 🙂

I made this little robot painting on wood for a family art project we were doing. Dang if i didn’t forget the prompt, but i think it was probably “robots”

More street installations from 2007 and 2008 by The Grocer.
More works by The Grocer from the summer of 2007.
In the summer of 2007, I began making original fruit and veggie themed paste-ups and installing them on derelict walls in Chicago under the moniker “The Grocer.” At the time, these acrylic paintings on paper gave me a cathartic outlet that the “serious” paintings I was doing at the time didn’t provide. Below are some of the first works I put on the streets.
