This wasn’t the plan for my retirement, I thought the doing the opposite would be more pleasurable. However what I have discovered is that the best things come out of a prolonged struggle, 40 years of painting should qualify me. Its seems to me that when the images are wrestled free of the paint that they have a richness that cannot be found through a more timid approach. I am trying to apply some logic to the way I am making this painting. The picture is coming through slowly despite the apparent chaos.
