Pushing Myself


Pushing is something I would rather do to someone else - but it seems to be the more effective when I push myself. And that takes a lot of doin.
I have been trying some new techniques in the studio - pushing myself to paint more and think less. Well, that's not correct; painting is thinking, just in a different way. Truthfully, if I had to be cognizant of all the decisions necessary to make a painting, I would never get started. I think I would just go back to bed.
"Hyatt Creek," painted from a photograph that a friend made, is one of the most recent things to come from the studio.
