Don’t know what else to call my paintings – but I like the one I did today.

Had a lot of thoughts while painting – and I allowed myself to “go” a little.   Since I’m doing the work for myself, I’m the only one that needs to like it.   I do struggle with the idea that I’m not doing something that looks more “modern” but I find this is what’s comfortable for me to do right now – paint this way – so that’s what I’m doing.

Finding the work I’m doing over the last two months has a “glow” or energy about it where it’s difficult to actually focus on what the painting is of – sorta like I’m going after a halo type effect that is interpenetrating the objects I’m painting.

And that’s fine – who says a painting, or any work of art, is really about being representational?

Anyway, I’m writing this while still in my studio – now it’s time to have dinner.  I’m glad I did something today that I actually like – my last two sessions here – I felt sorta “empty” and it wasn’t really happening for me.  Today it was different – a rainy day too – quiet – good for painting too.
