It's
been too long between my last new painting and this one. This time of
year it's hard for me to find inspiration since I am most moved by intense
color, and light/shadow contrasts, and the world around me is so drained of
color in the winter, replaced with shades of white and muted neutrals.
Nothing against the winter, it's just doesn't move me, creatively.
That combined with holiday tasks and 'day job' flares that take so much
more of me, and I haven't wandered into my studio in weeks. This painting
was actually done before the holidays, but didn't get my seal of approval until
just this week. I got inspired around Veteran's Day and started working
on this. I'm thinking it might launch a series of intense, close-up
portraits, but time will tell.
