More than a week without painting, that’s not good, even with a long list of other pressing projects and shortening daylight. If I was a bit more focused I should be able to paint twice a week, and I want to. Anyway, this painting is almost finished. Its looking like a John Nash from the 1940’s but I don’t have a problem with that, I like John Nash, I have a book on him. Its my belief that you don’t choose your style, it chooses you and so I will continue. The best thing to do is not to think, just paint, as simple as this sounds its not always so easy. I am liking this painting, I like the very particular and contrasting trees, they look at odds with the landscape, they also look observed. The question is now, where does this lead me, with the choice of the next painting?
