Progress continues, albeit slowly, on Michael Murray’s commissioned painting, “Bird Bacharach 2” — the more I think about it, this may end up being a working title. It seems this painting may be more in keeping with the Hideous Birds painting I completed a year and a half ago. My roommate, Jocelyn, came home the other night to find me painting in the kitchen; she took some photos, which I’ve included here.
