As the season is changing, so are things in the studio, with my latest body of work nearing completion. It will soon be time to plant the seeds of some new ideas. It must be all the rain....
My paintings always reach a point where I need to let them sit for a while. I prop them up on the easel or hang them on the wall and distance myself from the making of them and reduce my interaction with them so that in effect I become nothing more than a passerby. It's in these moments that my focus becomes less intense and I can find myself feeling a bit adrift, no longer anchored physically and cognitively by that artwork.
