"when I first met the salamander king" 36" x 58" oil pigment sticks on stretched canvas 2026. this is the first of a new series.

Two years ago I did this painting of "Proctor's Ledge", which is where the alleged witches of Salem were hanged in 1692. This Spring I intend to revisit the site and, indeed, the entire Gallows Hill area to get some sketches and hopefully another series of paintings on the subject.

Painting by Scott Prior ‘Red Ball in Early Spring’ 1994. Dimensions 72 x 108 inches. Oil on canvas.

there are no mistakes, only other paths

"We are the shape of the hive" 68" x 84" oil on canvas 1991. My studio assistant is helping me restore this 35 year old painting of mine back to it's original state. Since I recently moved, I want to hang it in my new apartment. It reminds me of something important when I look at it.

the kid's got moves. bravo, a pure moment.

Salamander with smudges, charcoal on paper, 8" x 10". One of may studies for my newest panting.

stunning greens, lovely scale. (no pun intended)

I wonder what the ghost of Marsden Hartley would think about the world today.

one of my favorite recent movies.

Martha Graham and Noguchi’s wire sculpture, as Medea in Cave of the Heart, 1946. #MarthaGraham #ModernDance

the blood on the floor is a nice touch.

going through recent drawings. I'm running out of old journals and ledgers to draw in. the 100+ year old paper in these is exceptionally fine for pen and ink. Gonna have to start stalking the New England antique stores for more...

If you look waaaaaaay in the back, but the trees. That's me. In a fedora.

Reminder:

Mood.

the underpainting for the piece I'm working on now. It's called "when I first met the salamander king" and it's 3foot x 5foot. (you may ask how I arrived at those dimensions: that was the size of a piece of canvas I had left)

Square. Circle. Triangle. Lin Yung Cheng.

I should be working on my new painting, but I just got a new fountain pen and I'm doodling instead.

okay. you got me. extremely tasteful.

new fountain pen: Conklin Duragraph Rainbow. Omniflex nib. well made, heavy and comfortable.

excellent composition and definition.

How the 'totem' series of paintings look together. Each painting is 2 foot x 4 foot on stretched canvas.

more, please.

“Blood orchid totem” 24” x48” oil pigment sticks on canvas 2026

this is, and will always be, disgusting.

to quote Lenny Bruce: "I use my right hand too much"

Most people know of the beautiful ‘Fayum’ #mummy portraits from Roman Egypt, made in either tempera or encaustic (hot pigmented wax). We rarely see them as intended, inserted into their wrappings, as seen below. A gilded stud is affixed to the center of each concentric linen diamond. 🏺 1/ 📸 me
