Okay... Computer?

Ah yes, computer issues of late, but now, I'm back with a functioning computer and in keeping with updating progress on paintings well after they've progressed further, here are a few pictures...

I'm incorporating the picture of the Ponte Vecchio into the background of the painting with the birds that is only drawn in above. Truth be told, I've already painted that background, but I need to photograph it along with the other two, which, at least for those, involves a bit of set up for good reproduction and also photographing them with the nondigicamera for slides. I need to get slide film.

Old stuff, new stuff

Recently I've been adding pictures from my Color-Panel Series to the old stuff available at Yessy.com. This series, executed mostly during 2005 between the Tea Paintings and the Flower-Pattern Paintings, is a small set of paintings, not previously exhibited.

Screen 16x20 inches acrylic on canvas

The idea for the colored center with uncolored sides came directly from the Tea Paintings, particularly the ones using Twinings envelopes:

I need to take new, digital pictures of the Tea Paintings since I'm not satisfied with the quality of the extant, photo-print images which additionally didn't all scan very well...

At any rate, the uncolored sides presented themselves to me, conceptually, as an area beyond the edge of the canvas and not, "the main picture," but implying that there is more happening or more to see than what is presented as, "the picture." Not all the works played up this concept so much or so well: "Screen," the picture shown above, I feel doesn't. Most likely I'll put up some more in the future...

Also, in the way of bad photographs, here are a couple works in progress. Already the progress is further along than in these (week old) pictures, but just to give some idea of what I'm working on at the moment.

Greetings!

Black and White - 2008 - 16"x20" acrylic on canvas

Welcome to my artblog/temporary website (no telling when an actual, official website of my art will occur). I'm still getting things going here: figuring out how things work, what the content is going to be, what fonts and colors I want to use.

I'm expecting the entries will principally be my pictures with descriptive blurbs and perhaps also something of a journal of work in progress; but I wouldn't be surprised if I branch out into writing about other peoples' art, music, design, whatever strikes my fancy.

At any rate, as far as site for viewing my work go at present, my most recent work can be seen (and acquired) at Libertine Gallery http://www.libertinegallery.com/primeaux.htm: the gallery is presently without a physical space, but maintains the online presence and is otherwise nomadic. Also, I've put up (and will be puting up more) older stuff - works previously unsold, works previously unshown, works previously unseen - at this place yessy.com, http://www.yessy.com/JeffreyPrimeaux/fpgallery.html, since I'm running out of storage space...

Until later,

Jeffrey
