Storage. What A Year of Art Looks Like.

There are at least 100 canvases stacked up in my room...and one 100 year  old chinese  trunk.
Andy Warhol once said (or at least that's what the internet told me) that art not sold is just a storage problem...
And while it's a better storage problem than, say, if I was a hoarder...it still holds true.

Introducing my part-time bedroom, all-the-time painting storage area at the fullest it's ever been...
 To help you out with scale here, that tube on the upper-right is about 4 feet tall and the largest canvases seen in the upper-left are five feet in height. I'd guess there are around 60-70 canvases stacked in the space you see here...
And though these pieces are much smaller, they are double-stacked high at places and the pile is about 4-5 feet deep. Another 30-40 small-medium scale pieces...
And don't forget the 20+ pieces lucky enough to hang on the walls throughout the house...
And just so you don't walk out of here feeling like I've been lazy, there are two more piles in the living room, one pile at my lovely lady-friend's place and a good 50-100 more pieces that have sold,  are on view, or that have gone missing (or been destroyed) over the last few years...

Take a look at the archive for a clear view of the amount of work from the last year or so...and let me know if you're interested in anytning you see below!
