LJ Lindhurst: Right Now

Quick update! here’s what I’m working on right now:



That little one on the right is called Sunflower (I know that’s a corny name, but that is what I think of every time I look at it). It’s a companion to Rusty Hole, which I just finished. They are both 12″ x 24″. I hope to also do a third one at this size, but I am still looking for just the right image. I think I will do another rusty hole, though. There seem to be a lot of those around…

The big one is Foil Bunny #3. This is actually the third panel in a triptych I’m working on. Here are the photos I’m working from:

Just finished up Viewer and Rusty Hole:

Well I’ve gotten quite a bit done over the holidays. And I’m glad it’s January because January is always one of my most productive months. Must be the light…

Here’s a recently-finished small Marbles painting. I thought I was finished painting marbles, but on a whim I decided to crank one out on a small square canvas I had sitting around my studio. I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed painting this one. I actually felt giddy at one point. (what the hell is wrong with me?)

I’ve also got a new piece in the works– here’s a shot of its progress so far:

This is obviously in an very unfinished, awkward state. This is the Long Distance Viewer down at the Brooklyn Bridge Park (if anyone knows exactly what those viewer thingys are called, please let me know).

OK, this one is essentially finished:

Now I need to take a nap. For 2 weeks.

Here’s that better photo I promised… and a bit more progress.

Sorry about the crappy photo… I’ll take a better one this week.

Coming along at a nice clip. Very much enjoying this one.

I’m thinking this is it for the marbles. Kind of tired of painting them. If I spoke better French, I would say something along the lines of Au revoir, mes amis les marbles! (Hmm, you really don’t have to speak much French to say something that idiotic, now do you?)

So here you have it, the finished painting:

Now on to Foil Bunny #2.

Well, here’s what I’ve been working on for the past few weeks. It’s in a sorry state of unfinished-ness at this point… but it’s coming along. I’m very pleased with this piece so far.

Figured it was about time I posted an update. This thing has been essentially finished for a couple of weeks now, but I am still pooping around with it a bit. Click here to see specs and some details.
