I’ve been taking way too long to finish these 4 paintings. This week I haven’t even wanted to look at them. So today I’m making myself look at them. I finally took photos and uploaded them to Flickr. It’s helping. I’m thinking about directions and it’s helping. I started these four not having any idea about where they would take me. Now that they are each going along in slightly different paths, I can see what’s important, what’s not, what I like, and what I don’t like. Strangely the one I liked the most in the beginning is the one I like the least now. And the one I thought would never go anywhere is the one I feel is closest to being done. I think the next step is to start one or two more, and to try different things, not worry about destroying them, and try to have some fun.
