Free Spirits
Free Spirits 24″ X 36″, acrylic
My latest serious painting is another, looser version of a small vignette from a larger one I did years ago. Artificial lighting, even the special daylight tubes, just doesn’t give a true version of colour like real daylight. This took about 3 weeks with daylight being so short here at this time of year, so it was finished today, 3 January, 2011.

Some things I think I learned:
The only rule is work. If you work it will lead to something. It’s the people who do all of the work all of the time who eventually catch on to things.
Don’t try to create and analyze at the same time. They’re different processes.
Be happy whenever you can manage it. Enjoy yourself. It’s lighter than you think.
