Thanks, Jenna, I appreciate your thoughts. I like Larry's work, too. I wasn't sure what to think of it years ago after I first encountered it. There's been a number of years since I'd seen and thought about his work but I was intrigued by some of the very smart choices he makes with his paintings and mark-making.
I really enjoyed this visit with artist Larry Spaid. You write beautifully - a painter's perspective on another painter, making just the kind of observations that bring it all to life. Your photos complete a sense of sobriety and careful playfulness that I get from this work.
Philly has a ton of amazing creative talent here and it does feel good to have good connections with a lot of them. Thanks for your response and reposting!
