I recently saw a show by one of my favorite painters, Alex Kanevsky, and felt like I had gotten a shot in the arm to boost my efforts. His work is simply paintings and done incredibly well. No pretensions to be anything more than reflections on life.
My work has recently evolved a bit and I feel like I am very close to making the kinds of paintings that I want to make. Of course, I'll never make what I imagine and it's always elusive but I am feeling like it's closer than it's been before. My intention in these paintings is to simultaneously build up the image and break it down and to do it in a fresh and honest manner.
