Painting in Two Directions

I am finding myself torn, not ideologically or aesthetically, but in terms of time, between two radically different styles of painting.

The thing is, the one that it less appealing to me (although not unappealing), is the easiest one. It is the way that I know when I go into the studio I have a good idea of where to go.

The other is what is far more interesting to me, and it is one of exploration of physical surfaces and structures. The problem with it is that it is so experimental that one painting looks completely different than the one before it.

So I push on, working on one side when the mood moves me, and the other at other times. Of course this results in two threads of painting, which are mutually exclusive in terms of marketing, and right now I need to focus on marketing (for instance, that website that still has not happened).

I have a feeling I will end up spending more time on the less marketable, but we will see.

Meanwhile, I have started a major reorganization of my studio, which should maximize my time in there (last week I spent an hour looking for something that should have been at easy reach).

So, for those who have asked, that is the scoop. Hopefully there will be a website with images in the next few months.
