Hello – I’ve been off the map (again) for some few months, busy with making paintings and drawings, and, importantly, setting up and getting used to a new website: http://www.PatPaxson.com,  which has paypal options for many of the wide variety of paintings as well as occasional drawings.

The main purpose of my blogs is an introduction to my painting practice, in spite of the fact that paintings are notoriously difficult to write about… a way to inform (or at least provide hints) about the ideas, energies and enthusiasms that surround the making of my work. A second purpose is to tempt you all out there to comment on, and take an interest in, the paintings and drawings – your comments are very welcome.

Multi-layered images, multi-layered both physically in paint and mentally in ideas, are what keep me painting. I’ve been painting for many years now, perhaps 35 or so, and it never gets dull!  Many of my ideas arise from other sources, books, other artists, etc.  so I will be referring to some of these sources as well.

More soon….
