Why is Making Art Hard?

OK, the fact is I never know where a painting is going to take me. As I’ve said before, painting, for me, is like taking leap after leap in the dark. This is all well and good when those leaps are taking me someplace that looks GOOD while I’m leaping. But there are days when […]

What Just Happened?

Something happened the other day and I don’t know, yet, what it was. Kathy and I did a road trip to Abiquiu and Ghost Ranch as a treat on her last day here. I’d never been to either, which is amazing because they’re only about an hour and a half away from my house. For […]
