A real time video of the first step of this new work. I prefer not to talk while I am painting because it will take me out of the zone. I talk a bit about what I just did at the end of the video. 

A short video discussing my process. This is an example of the “ugly stage” as I subconsciously begin to discover the beauty of what the piece may eventually reveal.
