| Susanna Coffey, In Her Studio at Stephen Harvey Fine Art Projects (now closed). A simply delicious painting fiesta celebrating artists in their studios, from a master painter. I use the word in all its implications. Gallery Link |

| In addition to painting others, Coffey also paints herself working amidst enlarged projections of favorite paintings. Here, the conflagration of marks, creamy, colorful paint and imagery enfold the solitary painter in a vivid, almost tropical world. |
 |
| Joanne Greenbaum at Rachel Uffner, working in glass in the gallery's front room. These exuberant explorations continue her improvisational working process and love of color and material. Gallery Link |

| Joanne Greenbaum painting from the aptly titled, joyous "I'm Doing My Face in Magic Marker," up through January 12, 2020. |

| At Karma, Matthew Wong's Blue, in both galleries: gouaches and watercolors in one space, paintings in the other. Gallery Link |

| The shows are extended. Roberta Smith's tribute in the New York Times describes Wong's work and artistic rise: New York Times Link |

| When we met in Shanghai in 2014, Matthew was working in ink. |
 |
| In his visit to my studio, preceding his first solo exhibition in Shenzhen late that summer, we discussed ink painting, swapping references and comparing notes. n the next five years, his work blossomed, and from my perspective, for the fusion of autonomous mark and surface, layering two traditions of painting. |
