Time to do something new with the blog

I haven't touched this website for some time. Life has a way of moving you in new direction over this much time. I posted a handful of drawings I had done in color pencil. I moved to drawing away from writing - to have something to do with creative energy that wasn't getting used up. I have since evolved and moved on to painting in acrylic and now feel like I am on a creative path that really satisfies me in ways that writing used to when I was young and hopeful and working on novel-length work.

The paintings I have produced so far have each taught me something. The biggest thing I have learned is that no matter how many things I get wrong this time, every painting I do is a new lesson to make the next one better.

I will be posting new work from here on and hope it serves as a record of progress, a living experiment. And if I one day become competent enough that every work I put out is something to be proud of - an expression rather than an experiment - it will become a catalog.

Now, back to work.
