I spent the afternoon in my studio where I’m working on a large painting inspired by a historical quilt pattern. When I got home I popped into my office to check news & email. Lo & behold! Look what I found! A wonderful story in the NYTimes about a group of artists in the 1970′s and 80′s who made paintings inspired by… patterns. This is art that’s new to me and it’s fun to see. I hope you enjoy it too.
For the quick & entertaining version click on the slide show within the article. There are a handful of beautiful images there plus some interesting thoughts about art movements. What’s an art movement and why doesn’t art happen that way (borne of collective thought) anymore?

I can’t believe the similarity between your new painting and one of these. To many nights listening to Coast to Coast. Can’t wait to see it finished.

Good question! It’s still very much a work in progress. Not sure how I feel about it yet. Uneasy? We’ll have to see…
