Earlier this winter friends and I enjoyed a hike in Marin
County’s Tennessee Valley. That day it rained
on and off but we managed to stay fairly dry.
Yesterday was a day of late season rains that kept me in the house. The results are a series of 16 4”x4”
paintings based on that afternoon on the trail.
I deliberately forced myself to work quickly. Any painter knows the trap of going too far
and overworking a painting. It’s frustrating
when you get a work done and then keep going and, well, ruin it.
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
