Time for another catalogue update... in 2020 I used some of the down-time to name and number every painting I ever did, and have kept up with it ever since. Its quite a chore, this time it took a few days of sitting down and going through the pile. Its also fun to look at the work from the past little while, it gave me a few ideas. I broke through the 6000 total painting mark when I did a painting called 'Self Portrait in vehicle' by coincidence. This year, there are about 871 paintings to date with a little over 2 months left. I haven't concerned myself with numbers or volume of paintings, in fact, I planned to paint a lower number but on larger pieces of paper and ended up doing both. Although the plan one day is to go even bigger on location like 9 x 12" or even 16 x 20", its just a logistical issue with the bike, and windy days. At any rate, the painting shown above is an abstract done in a colour scheme I call minus 1.... that means you use every colour minus 1, in this case there is no blue. I called it cool burner because graffiti artists call a masterpiece a 'burner', so this is a cool burner, lol.
Cool burner, watercolour 6 x 7.5" cold press, October 2025
