More Floods!


For some reason it`s hard to concentrate on new stuff when I have a show up somewhere. I wonder how they`re doing. This is when the paintings meet the world and become works of art. Consequently, I`m still in a goofing off mode. I have something ambitious under way but it isn`t going well so I do small paintings. That has had mixed results too.
After I clean up at the end of the night, I`ll sit down and look at art online. Before going upstairs to bed I`ll go take a look at what I`ve done. Often that will get me painting again though now it isn`t a 'real' session, in fact I should be sleeping. Good things happen. It`s sort of like how men will have the important conversations standing in a driveway saying goodbye to someone.

I love these two pieces...they are silent in an exquisite way, yet so alive. Bravo!

Lovely pieces! I haven't been in town to see your show yet... Too many tourists! I'll go to White Bird Tuesday if they're open.

I love your description of those last few minutes when you should be sleeping - I always try to work early because that's when my energy is best, but sometimes being tired can trick my brain into trying a different path.
