Close but how close?


It has been a slow season. Finishing up the semester teaching and all the holiday stuff, and perhaps a long preponderance of the direction the paintings are going in, have made for a limited trickle of paintings coming out of my studio. I have been slowly tweaking one painting that has been quite pleasant, but not quite ready to call finished. The process has been slow. Decisions to make a drastic change have been long drawn out. Minor studies ensued. And then jump! And then watch and stare and stare and think and try to feel. I know what i need to do, but the exactitude of it eludes me. So it goes.
