I sat down to write this post several times over the past week, but each time I stare at the blank page for several minutes before giving up. I can’t seem to articulate what it is about the shift I’ve felt and the new way I’ve been painting over the past several weeks that I want to talk to you about. I have been wanting to move in this direction for some months now, but didn’t know quite how to physically do what I wanted to do. Now that it’s happening, I can’t seem to put things into words.
My first thought was, “Well, maybe I just don’t have anything to say” (those of you who know me personally can just quit your laughing out loud right now). Then I thought, “Nah, I have too much to say.” That sounds more like me, doesn’t it? I have made technical, mechanical, mental, and emotional changes to the way I approach the work, but it hasn’t settled in yet in a way that I can express in words.
Perhaps it doesn’t matter until they are all on exhibit and I have to patter to real live people about it. That will happen in the spring. Yes, I have a solo show coming up in April! So, I have a few months to mull things over before I need to compose an artist’s statement about the collection. For now, I’ll share what I’ve been doing and let the images speak for themselves. These paintings are not on my website yet, but if you are interested, they are for sale. They range from 15”x30” to 24”x42". Just drop me an email or comment below. I hope you enjoy them!
This work is bold and engaging! Enjoy your private time with the work as it develops ♥️
So inspired by these! I love following your journey, seeing your progress, and living my artist life vicariously through you!
