Amid Conversation, The Sudden Spillout, 24 in. x 24 in., Acrylic on Canvas, 2016

Summer heat has laid out a number of experiments. Hot forms for hot times. Little adventures in varying directions. Next is the sifting of thoughts in paint, harvesting and moving on.

The studio has cooled, and time there is more comfortable and more fruitful.  It’s a lot easier to get there when it is cool, and much much easier to stay there. Just showing up seems to help the paint and the work take care of itself.
