These details and horizontal core samples document the current state of the active canvas, Joan of Arc Riding My Little Pony.

Presently, the surface resides at a noteworthy junction between having executed Old Master quotes (which finds me inhabiting some projection of these previous painters’ experience) and inventively resolving the surface to a place where the painting resides as an unquestioned visual fact.

You cleverly tease us with the segments of Joan of Arc Riding My Little Pony. Will you be putting up the entire painting soon? It looks fascinating.....so far.

Greetings Mark,
I especially enjoy the "horizontal core samples". Sharon drew my attention to the "Plank Lever Series". Those have strong dimensional quality. The pallets are very handsome too. November was an active painting month. The pallet archives are a valuable chronicle. I wish you well!
Peace,
Denis
