Turns Out...

...I was burnt out. It wasn't a lack of inspiration, or the mythical "painter's block," just plain too much work and pushing too hard for too long. Exhibit A:


This pic was taken in the middle of a 36 hour paint/work/photo-a-thon to tie up all the loose ends before several paintings shipped at the conclusion of my solo show. Yes, the crazy face was apparent. Exhibit B:


It took me the month of October to finish the second and final layer of just the water of "u.s. 20 (grace)". Even by my standards, this was a long, grinding process. But now I am back. The sun drops earlier, the low light is inspirational, and I am ready to make some mad paintings...

Off to work. Woo-hoo!
