#101WordPaintings

When I’m away from painting for far too long my insides start to crumble like stale coffee cake or canyons made of sandstone.

On the outside, it may not seem like I’ve abandoned my painting practice.  Hell — look around my studio and you’ll find proof that my beloved paintbrushes have been in use diligently.

Though my heart has a different story to tell.  One that starts with I wish…I want…if only I could figure this out.

2017  was a tough year.  I faced many uncomfortable realities I’ve been skirting around and brushed away cobwebs that I kept pretending were safety nets.

December arrived and I looked around my studio to only notice a half neglected painting practice that’s been desperately trying to grab my attention.
