Hot off the press, or rather, the easel: I give you what will most likely be the first in a series called Compartments. I dreamed this painting (something I very rarely do), and woke up the next day and went hunting for a wooden shelf like this. I actually found two, the first with a wooden back to it that I’ll use for other paintings, and the second with a metal back like you see in the painting below. The rocks are primarily ones that I found on the beach at Hyannis Port, MA where my grandparents lived and where we scattered some of my dad’s ashes. The bottom rock came from Canada.

Labyrinth, Ludo, rock walls, rocks

Yesterday, S and I spent 8 hours moving 6 tons of rock to create several walls at the haunt. Rock by rock. By rock. By rock.

Today, I feel like I’ve been run over by a train and someone has kindly danced a jig on my back while wearing cement blocks, then propped me up and demanded that I perform 182 pushups and 172 crunches and 258 squats (which is probably just about how many squats I actually did yesterday during this whole endeavor). I really wish Ludo had been there to help. Next time, I’m thinking I should get a bunch of cross-fit lunatics to come do it for me.

Remember how yesterday I said I was going to sit my sorry ass down and actually paint something real finally? Well, I did it. Feel free to shower me with praise for not being a lazy sack of shit. I worked on two pieces. One is just about done, the other has a little ways to go. Here’s the one that’s pretty much done except for a little tweaking here and there. I have a thing about collecting rocks that have a white vein through them because my grandmother once wrote a children’s story that included them (I’ll have to eventually make that a Mondays with Muddy post, now that I’m thinking about it. I’ll try to remember this coming Monday):
