Global Knife

More work on the tomatoes, sharpening detail mostly, and a first pass on the knife. To come - a gazillion tiny black dots on the handle, each with it's own white crescent of a reflection. Total painter bliss for me. Glad I have two virtually done, and two more in the works.

I went to the gallery to pick up Gripland, which is going to the juried show 'Reflections' that opens January 2. First time I saw my work from Origins & Derivations at Mason Murer, and they looked lush and generous, just full of color and life. Of course they were gorgeously lit and well spaced, and that has something to do with it. I had a moment of disbelief that I had anything to do with making them. A good moment.
