Starting to paint again

It has been a tough two weeks with final exams, grading for three classes, and getting a show hung. Anyway, now with a two-week break I can finally get some painting in:

Recently sold this figurative work, "The Art Class":



Now working on larger group scenes, some more abstract than others. This one is "Serie di rivoluzione quadro uno":



And another, "L'ultima Cena":



In these recent works, preparations for a show at the Springfield Museum, I seem to be moving even more into abbreviation of form and seeking a connection with unknown narratives. Perhaps the narrativeare really known, its just not yet clear how the innovation in expression will link up with more explicit, more detailed areas of the canvas, if that becomes necessary.
