Progress on Current Work - "The Aftermath"

This is the progress that I have made so far on this recent painting titled "The Aftermath." Again, this painting is made up of three separate panels. The left and bottom panels are the most complete as far as painting goes. The top right panel is still very rough, but I am happy with where it is going. Once dry, I will be attaching actual objects to the bottom panel, such as crumpled tissues, toys and possibly chewed bubble gum. I also plan to have these objects spilling oven the edge of the painting and entering our actual space, therefore making this painting much more of an installation piece than any of my previous paintings.

Beginning Stages of Final Work

Wood panels are primed and ready for my final work (sketch on right). This work will all together be 4'x7', but it is cut into three sections and each section will be painted differently. This final work should bring together everything that I have been working on in my previous paintings of the same theme: The Real Motherhood Experience.
