A little different approach with this oil on Mylar. Not obvious seeing it here, but I'm punching out holes in the Mylar (the small white circles) which intrigues me with an eye on upcoming pieces. #stevenbaris #contemporaryabstractpainting #contemporaryabstract #contemporarypainting #diagram

This largely nondescript shot of a snowy patch is the first of an about-to-begin construction of a new, stand-alone studio! Shortly this will be a hole.

2024's final, mostly silent hours in the studio. Wishing all my art friends a productive and innovative next year in their studios. And for all my non-artists friends, a productive and innovative next year with whatever the heck you're doing.

Now that I'm a recent sign-on with Bsky, I figure I should post something. As I'm momentarily mute, this artwork will have to do the trick. Stations of Attention E23, oil on canvas.
