Unfinished Teenage Boy (and brain)

Here is a snapshot of one of my new paintings about teenagers. It needs a lot of work, but I can see this finished painting clearly in my mind’s eye. My nearly 18-year-old son helped me with this piece. I get to work on the writing for this series today while Ellis recovers from getting his wisdom teeth out. If you have some ideas you would like to see explored about teenagers or just general thoughts or stories, please send them to me. I would love to hear from you. Have a great Friday wherever your adventures take you!

I am working on a whole new show to hang at the University of Vermont’s Continuing Education administrative building next week. Here are snapshots of a few of the new pieces. I have wanted to do a series about teenagers. Being them and raising them in these ridiculously complex times. I can’t wait to write the narrative to accompany this show. My friend and partner in crime—Maggie Pace was my editor today. She helped me settle down by picking out/eliminating pieces, helping me determine what was still needed and allowing me to say out loud what is dancing around in my head. Thanks Maggie! A very productive day indeed.
