6/23/8 Prepared supplies at home then drove to OHM Lounge, unloaded

supplies and set up to work on the back stage. Painted the initial

background on a 4’ x 5’ homemade canvas stretcher.

7/2/8 Began set-up at 9:00 and finished moving all furniture and getting all

supplies and canvas ready to go by 9:28. Joanna was here for the beginning

of the evening and took a few images of the process. I continued to paint

right until 2:30.

7/3/8 Edited last nights video’s and worked on making a movie mix.

7/6/8 Started learning the process of uploading images for the JSFblog.org

website. Filled in biographical information but couldn’t find where it’s

displayed.

7/6/8 Painted on the small stage tonight at OHM. It was a very slow night only

about 10 people in the bar through out the course of the night. It made the

painting process much slower as I like to feed off of the energy surrounding

me while I work. Their was one person that was interested in the process

and spoke for awhile with a lot of great questions.

7/7/8 Uploaded videos to my home computer. Put them into windows movie

maker to make one full consistent video. Uploaded my profile and

biography on the jsfblog site, this time successfully. And worked with still

photographs from the evening before.

7/7/8 Uploaded images to photobucket so I can put on the website.

7/9/8 Set up on the front stage again. Another slow evening, about 7 people at the

bar when I first arrive. Through out the course of the night about 50 people

in total. I did finalize the background of the painting, finishing all the

rectangles. Each one was painted separately and blended multiple times.

7/10/8 Moved several of my paintings down to CONTEMPORARY GALLERY for

for display.

7/13/8 Built two new canvas stretchers. Purchased wood from Home Depot and

Canvas from Commercial Art Supply. Built the frames, then sanded each

one. Added a sheet of wood over top of the frames then stretched the canvas

over top. Primed both canvases with a dark blue primer several times to get

a solid background.

7/14/8 Set up all supplies and paintings at OHM on the front stage. Mostly thought 4 hours about how to go about adding the right foreground layer and made several

sketches.

7/16/8 Downloaded and edited videos from the Flip camera.

Started to work on the initial foreground layers of the same painting. It’s a

very slow process of taping off a small section painting that section and then

allowing ample dry time before adding the next three layers of tape and

paint.

7/20/8 Continued working on the same painting on the small stage at OHM. Again

worked on the foreground layers, applying the same tape and paint process.

7/23/8 Continued working on the same painting on the small stage at OHM. Again

worked on the foreground layers, applying the same tape and paint process. I

got much closer to what will be the last step in the painting but still need

several more of the organic lines intersecting the painting. I also brought

down one of the new blue paintings to put in storage and prepare for the next

painting.

7/28/8 Picked up the three 4’ x 7’ foot paintings that we’re started the night of the

Everson Biennial. Brought them down to OHM to install on back stage.
