I had an unpleasant task in an unpleasant place today and I had to recenter myself, breath and find my peace, find something to enjoy in it. I found my competence and ability, the way my hands work and my eyes, doing the task right and good. Easier to find that while painting, but still.

Being an arts professional and an artist is weird, helping others create their vision while always having your own ideas.

"The Guston Discussion" Oil on Canvas 14" x 14" (sold)
Paintings that are loaned to a museum for an exhibit are inspected before they are installed, and then again afterwards. Here a courier, conservator, and two registrars are inspecting a Philip Guston painting.

"Tom Shows Us How" 2020 Oil on Canvas 24" x 24" (available) This is the last one of the museum series, so far. This features almost all the roles in a major exhibition, five preparators, a courier, and a curator. The only people missing are the registrars. The painting I'll post tomorrow will feature them.

"Preparators, Nymphs, & a Satyr" 2015 Oil on Canvas 38"x38" (sold) I often work in art museums as an Exhibit Preparator. I made a series of paintings over several years based on my experiences handling iconic works of art. This scene reminded me of a Deposition from the Cross.
