This morning, at 5:30 a.m. in Britain was the Winter Solstice. Technically, it was still the 21st in California when the solstice occurred. But, as I’ve painted Stonehenge in the dark in the cold, early morning, we’ll go by the clock in Britain. I like this dark, short day, because even though it means winter is here, it also means that now it means the days are getting longer.
The 2011 Project is a work by San Francisco artist Tofu. Each day in 2011 he created a 4”x4” mixed media piece. The finished project was made up of 365 smaller mixed media pieces. In 2013 the individual pieces will be distributed to project supporters. The project also acted as sketchbook for new ideas, which continue to be incorporated into new work For more information please visit 2011project.com
