thoughts of a shy painter

Wipe out

​This little painting made me happy.  Yesterday.   Today I decided that it was not what I wanted, so I wiped it out.   I used to feel that painting over or wiping out a painting was admiting defeat.   Now it feels empowering.   I will NOT burden myself with art I don't like.  So there.

Painting in my pajamas

5/23/2015

It's cloudy and gray again.  I find it hard to get going on a gray Saturday.   So I was still in my pajamas until around 10:00 am.   But my procrastination did not include painting.  I was in my studio, touching up a plein air painting from yesterday when I realized that it said something odd about me that I was painting in my pajamas.   

I am initiating this blog because I want  somewhere to post my thoughts and art activities.   Somewhere that will be out of the way of everyone except those few who want to know what I am thinking and doing.    So, welcome here.

    I'm a painter.   I find joy in mimicking the world around me in oil paint.   Go figure.
