I&#8217;ve finished almost all of the second layer of grey work on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Monday I had a unique opportunity to spend a couple of very pleasant hours up close to the Bouguereau at the Weisman gallery in Malibu, thanks to Michael Zakian, the curator and art historian at Pepperdine University. Alexey Steele, Tony Pro, Jeremy Lipking, Mike Adams and I had a wonderful time getting close to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although I have to say that creating grass is the most boring thing in the world, I guess the patience that it requires pays off in the end and I like the way this is going. Doing this repetitive painting reminds me of the work on the Angel of Death when I painted skulls for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the studio I&#8217;ve worked on the flesh of the hanged man a little more, adding whites into the highlights and blue into the shadows and the hair. I&#8217;ve scraped plenty of Cadmium Red into the lower arm, reasoning that because he&#8217;s hanging upside down his blood would have descended to the lowest parts of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a busy week introducing new students to their classes and getting everything in order. We&#8217;ve been experimenting with the camera obscura to see what kind of results we can get out of it, finding that having some theatre lights aimed at the model really helps to create a stronger image.

Now rectangles, the compositions look much better balanced, with the focus of attention moving down to the sun and the hand and face of the Traveler, while in the Magician the relationship of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The quest for foliage continues, and I&#8217;ve been adding dark shadows into the foliage on the right side of the painting, building substance and getting further away from the very decorative leaves that were there before. In the photo you can see where the new edge of the painting is (regular visitors will remember I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Emperor painting has taken a giant leap forward, with an entirely new foreground landscape beginning to develop around the Empress. I&#8217;ve enjoyed painting the underlying dark areas that will lie beneath a range of grass that will be the next feature to emerge. In addition, I&#8217;ve added some white over the edges of the [...]]]></description>
