The Ebb and Flow of an Artist

It may surprise you to know that artists can get sidetracked! It once happened to me for a whole year. Not one lick of paint to canvas in that whole time. But don't be fooled, I never stopped painting in my head. I never stopped what has become a constant companion for me...SEEING!

This thing is precious to me and I feed it! I feed it with my soul and it feeds me...like breathing.

This season has been chockfull of distractions. From family to illness to the constant unending barrage of political madness. Not much actual painting has been accomplished. Nevertheless, as spring approaches, I feel the tide rising. I have faith in future works my inner eyes have seen. I'm diving in!
