Quite a contrast to yesterdays headline. A casual observer might ask, what’s the point? The point is, the only way to advance your painting is to put all your knowledge into your work and a dose of risk taking in the hope you may discover something in the process that moves you just a fraction forward. I have hit a run of consistency in my painting that I have never had before but what I am realizing is that this painting business is a very slow evolution and its all about the journey. For me it seems like I had better enjoy the journey because apart from hope, what else is there? (that sounds like a Francis Bacon quote?). The painting is finished.
