I was in the middle of eating Vietnamese food when my iPhone gave me the 15 minute reminder. I couldn't get back to a computer for another hour. Needless to say I didn't get one.

Some models for painting composition me things.  Looks like hyenas breaking through/out of an igloo to me. I know Josh mentioned something about ice in this show. Either way love to see this part of the process. Thanks |

size guess-timates? has to be 6 feet by 2.5? or bigger! My guess is 120" x 40"... Yeah, I was thinking something in that range. You figure Josh will stick to that 30x40 incremental dynamic, as he did with his last giant work Burst, so I was thinking maybe a 40x90. But could very well be 40x120. It'll be interesting to see the piece in full. It's certainly epic in size and scope. It appears to be an obvious extension of the painting, Sowing, perhaps with an ode to Burst intermixed. I'd love for there to be some bizarre juxtaposition to it that makes Josh's work so compelling to me personally, aside from the face value herd composition. But working at this scale must be a challenge for him, so I wholeheartedly applaud the effort..even if I wouldn't say it's one of my favorite paintings at first glance. I've always wanted to see him work larger. And being the perfectionist that Josh is, he undoubtedly put a great deal of time into it and I can't imagine what the detail would be like in person. Very impressive stuff! |

Yeah I thought it was far too calm for an updated burst piece, but to definitely references sowing but maybe in a familiar movie. I keep hoping that the left half will be something to discuss the rural urban migration trend of the world. but that is my nerdy interest in Social Geography. Either way I'm excited to see how this one turns out. Along with the rest of the show.

The more I look at it, I think this is definitely an extension of the initial large buffalo painting that was teased before. Perhaps he used wood filler to connect the two panels and then primed to paint. I assume you'd want to dismantle something this large for shipping purposes, so maybe there is a seam there somewhere. But that original piece did look to be 40x60, so I think 10' here may very well be accurate. Pretty nuts. I presume this is still the Mark Parker commission, as I haphazardly speculated the first time. I know he had something large with Josh lined up, but I could also be way off base. It's obviously a commission anyway which you slice it, either to a corporate client like Parker or a museum curator of some sort. There's no way Josh would start a piece this large without having a definitive party in mind. Knowing how long it takes him to work on a 30x40, which used to be larger for him, I can only imagine how long this masterpiece took. The detail, even in this not so hi-res picture, looks incredible. You can almost make out each blade of grass throughout the entire piece. Oddly, it has always been the grass, the definition and lighting of, where I've been able to see some of the most noticeable examples of Josh's improvement with his uses of acrylics. And this grass looks off the hook here. Who would've thought someone could be so in love with painted grass  |

Beautiful. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a commission. Hopefully it will be at the show too so all can enjoy. Can't wait until we see the full pic!

Who would've thought someone could be so in love with painted grass I was surprised to see when Josh posted in his forum today that this is NOT a commission, just a very large piece. I would have put money on lowpro's theory! And for the rest of us without a war chest the great news is that there will be two print editions that will hopefully be released during the timeframe of his Collision show. |
