CLIMBING OUT


I am posting this photo of my current studio, in the SMU at Taos, Ft. Burgwin Art Barn.  I'm proving to you all and myself that I am actually working....four started, yet unfinished paintings.  Loss affects us all differently.  and it seems that for me, it affects my ability to let out the images inside me.  Yes, my creativity flows from the inside out, even if its an image in front of me....and grief and loss seem to block that for me.  But SOMETHING's leaking out, or even these four paintings wouldn't be there. Doesn't matter that two of them were begun a year ago....the images are still there, lurking until I can find a way to dynamite the dam holding it all in. This dam is definitely cracking...I can feel it.  I just wanted to let you all know I'm still here.  Still looking at the world through my painter's eyes....
