Origin

• SOLD

I just read that this coming November will see the 150th anniversary of Darwin's Origin of Species. I didn't paint this because of that. I honestly didn't pay much attention to all of the books I have here in the studio. Turns out one is a well preserved edition from 1892.

This is a relatively smaller piece, almost like an experiment to compose the books on a square canvas. I think with the right lines it works.

Autumn. Technically it is still summer, but I'm thrilled autumn is so near. Over the past week I've begun setting up ambitious plans for paintings during the next several months. I already have several in the works. I'm looking forward to the results.
