Early Summer

2002

Oil On Canvas

36 x 48"

This is a painting I did for my 2002 show at O'Connor Gallery in Toronto. With the exception of the final 'wash' coat, it was actually all painted using palette knives, which was tricky for me, at the time.

It was being sold for $2800 by Dennis O'Connor in 2002.

It's currently in the O'Connor Gallery in Gananoque, Ontario. Take a peek!

In addition to Facebook, I have taken up Instagram and Twitter.

My twitter profile is quite blank, but the other two are full of stuff.

I'm also setting up my very own website again, at: www.jameshuctwith.com

I am now social media'ing myself into a vaporous stupor.

The Painting Stuff just starts getting everywhere.

Knock, Knock, Braque.

This is a Braque knockoff I'm doing for fun. A lot of my expected ways of working seem to be intact - that's good. My insecurites are too, but, what of that!

Knock it off!

Still working on that new website. Or, more exactly, haven't been lately due to lots of this-and-that going on. Plus no new truly original paintings.

However, I have been painting.

After nearly ten years away, I've picked up the brushes and started working again.

Right now, just to warm up, I'm doing some good-natured knockoffs of early modernist paintings I like.

Robert Delauney's Red Eiffel Tower, a Braque still life, and more on the way...

Here are some pics.

The original repro (bottom) and some pics above it of the 'copy' on the way. More or less life size!

Father's Milk

A painting of mine has come up for sale. I'm really glad that the current owner is taking care to sell it along.

This painting - of which I'm still enormously fond of - was done in 2003, the year I feel I hit my stride. It was my first large multi-figure composition, and working it out was a complete delight  - from the underlying geometry, to the symbols embedded throughout, to the joy of painting all the bodies of those gents, and having it all come together.

If you are interested in purchasing the piece, simply contact me via e-mail:

Buildup

I think "Why?" and "What of, what for?". "Is this just habit or some sense of duty? How will this relate to the world, mean both something to me and people out there?". 
Then you return to it and get to it, because the only proofs are in the doing...

Happy New Year!

A very happy new year to you and yours, everybody.

Colour!

After a long run with a palette that kept getting darker and dimmer, it's a bit of a pleasant surprise to be uncorking the chroma with some new work. (in a very blobby state here)

Happy Summertime Werk

Unrolling canvases, examining eye details, happy progress, lovely days.

In the studio, with the fragment of an older self-portrait done with palette knives from 2002.

It's a good feeling finishing new (old) work.

I'm just puttering away on private work at the moment.

My main website is down for some re-arranging and whatnot. But a lot of my work is visible on this blog, as well as under my profile on facebook (if you know me).
Cheers,
J

So beautiful.
