Back in the studio after too long on the road. A good night; I can say it was good and the paint is evidence. I'm still ambivalent on this one and profoundly so. The last of the three large canvases and looking at them tonight I realize that I need to keep working in this size and hammering at this body of work. There's something going on; it feels fully-realized to me.
I am now racing the Winter, and with it the cold conditions that will impede and eventually block my studio time. The summer was glorious; so much progress and this work is exciting to me.
Two paintings hang in a half million dollar condo model in Greenville, and initial reception was very positive. Those are ok paintings, or, more accurately, they are good paintings that are a bit clumsily executed. The large ones in the studio are not; they are masterful and epic.
Of course I worry about the size being prohibitive, but then again that was sort of the point. In the studio tonight I see with this latest one especially that I am connecting with something very deep and primordial. I have to keep going.
