I've been working a lot lately, going through some difficult times with my work and not producing much. I can't explain exactly what was going on, but I knew I was going in a direction that I wasn't especially happy with in my work -- too "photo-realistic, not grabbing me and making me - and you - smile the way I like. (There's just enough negative or even neutral in this world these days that I want my work to help bring even just a bit of cheer into our lives.) So, anyway, I've been working away, really hard actually, but not able to get off that path I had started going down -- well, I think I finally have started forging a new path for myself. I expect you're going to be seeing some - for me, anyway - exciting changes in my work in the future. I made the hurdle!!!!
This piece is the first to come out after my few weeks of wrenchingly hard work - with almost nothing to show for it - except in my head, of course, where lots, lots, lots was going on! This is a border terrier, and the original as well as prints and pendants are available on my website. There'll be other images to follow in short succession after this one until I am current again.

wow..glad you are working on what you want. I have been going through some of the same thoughts. It has been a rough time. I managed to get to my studio today and start doing something I want to do. I am enjoying your paintings
