Sometimes, scraping away many layers of paint that ain’t workin’ is best accomplished with a sledgehammer and chisel, at least when the painting is on plywood.

Here’s a snap of a new painting in progress, Piltdown Manifesto. I like how the blue tape works here both to frame and conceal — I’m going to have to work that into a future painting, since it’s about to come off this one.
UPDATE 8.31.07: I just posted this finished painting:
Piltdown Manifesto.
