Weekend Update

I made some good progress yesterday building up the layers I want for this piece. I started using some metallic silver in a few places and am in love with the way it catches the light.

We'll see how this develops.

For now though, I'm making preparations for the reception later this afternoon for my show at 29 Newbury.

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing everyone there. If you want to come, you can find the details of the event HERE.

She looks so sad and vulnerable though - I hope she was just getting into character for the painting, poor dear!; February 13, 2012 at 11:42 AM

About the Artist

Jason Randolph Burrell is an experimental paint nerd living and working in Cambridge, Massachusetts prone to severe bouts of social paralysis, run-on sentences and British spellings who withdrew from art school in 1998 as soon as he perceived, accurately or otherwise, that his artistic gifts were under attack and at risk of being perverted by the conventions of his professors. Since then he has laboured in relative isolation, raising his son on weekends, and pursuing his own meandering art self-education by experimenting primarily with poured and splattered paint, observing its properties under various conditions, and contemplating his spiritual connection to the work, seeing the flow of paint as always running parallel, somehow, to his life.
