up for air
Lots has happened, much to blog about. I had to narrow my attention to this painting. I have just finished it after about four days of struggle. I'm not sure what I've done, how much I like it. Sometimes these result in remarkable paintings (not hyperbole, but that they are worthy of remarks) and sometimes they are stinkers.
I've got a few things to write about this one... and I want to start another painting soon... and I want to catch you all up on the highjinking fun we had with our friends Joel and Tif recently (as I might have noted earlier, Tif willl guest blog and narrarate the harrowing snorkeling adventure which resulted in many barnacle cuts, streaming blood and a desperate hike out over rock gorges, all soon to come)... and I want to snorkle today with Stephanie as a reward for the recent deep studio submergence.
We're off to the cove....

That murky up-from-the-slime green is deep, rich so stunning. Some delicious alchemy going. Thanks for posting your work and talking about it. It helps me w/mine. I feel a little like a peeping tomasina, reading your personal stuff since I don't know you, but thanks again.

Thanks for the encouragement and kind words, Sherie.
As for the personal stuff... trust me, the impression of transparency is an illusion. There's much not shared due to the immensity of life, or the merits of discretion, or simply that technology is not yet supple enough to catch all the imagined blogposts that occur to me in the course of the day.
Good luck to you!
