The creative process
Category: painting
As my deadline loomed
I just got an unexpected extension granted to me by the gallery offering me a temporary reprieve from the stress of completing all paintings today.
Note# No real rush if it needs to be later.
Sweet.
Difficult roads often lead to
beautiful destinations.

I have one week to finish all my paintings.
The struggle is not difficult but it’s never ending.
Soon this power struggle will be over.
and then I can rest.
The demand for perfection is always a misunderstanding
“The demand for perfection is always a misunderstanding of the ends of art. Imperfection is in some sort essential to all that we know of life in a mortal body, that is to say of a state of progress and change. Nothing that lives is, or can be, rigidly perfect; part of it is decaying, part nascent. The foxglove blossom-a third part bud, a third past full bloom, -is a type of the life of this world. And in all things that live there are certain irregularities and deficiencies which are not only signs of life but sources of beauty.”
-John Ruskin.
The studio can be a very exciting place
Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth
-Pablo Picasso
Practice what you know
Practice what you know and it will help
you to make what you do not know.

Color is my day long obsession.
Color is my day long obsession, joy and torment.

These are the last two paintings that I started.
I plan to submit 14 total. +/-
I need to get them all done in one month
so in my mind I think I have plenty of time.

You might have to fight a battle more than once to win.
