Still cold and wet outside so to avoid sculpture I cleaned out the studio. Haven't painted for a couple of years and I don't look after my stuff. Brushes were crusty and had to dig into the paint tubes in the hope of moisture. Nice though. The space is high in the house reached by a rickety ladder and I'm left alone. Big with light from the four points of the compass it allows me to stop and dream. And then? To the pallet knife. Memories of days making concrete tanks with plaster over chicken wire. The oil paint thick and luscious the magenta somehow heroic the white is white. Is the result OK? I like to go up next day and surprise the painting. The sudden viewing quickly finds faults. Does it work or is it out to the sculpture again.
I think I'll become a rock star!!

LOL!
i'm sure your paintings will rock!
one who has created those works of sculpture i've seen on this site, sure paints well too...
and this is so amazing you talk about cold and wet weather... our opposite seasons just make this globe more fun!
wait impatiently to see you paintings...
HB your faith is amazing, can you be my life coach! Are you as positive about your own work as others?
It's strange to travel to the opposite season and see ripe fruits and sun browned bodies although my experience of England was that it was like our winter!
:)
funny but now that you asked... i found out that the more i have faith in other people's works, the more positive i get about my own!
HB I'm the same, I start treating my own work as someone elses which makes it easier to market.
