No matter how long I’ve been making art, it is still a slow and draining process. I had assumed at some point it would become easier. Then again, I don’t like to keep doing the same thing over and over again either.
Coming up with a new directions is not easy. I’m constantly looking at books or shows featuring contemporary art. There are too many works that are derivative of what’s gone before. Once in a while I see something memorable that inspires me. Anyway, back to the studio.

Didn't Like at First
Once in a while I make a piece that I don’t like at first. But then, some time later, I realize I’ve made a breakthrough.
In making some pieces last fall, I felt like I was in an artistic rut. That has hindered me from creating new work. A few weeks back I made myself paint. Although finishing the pieces was a slow process, I feel like I made progress.
Sometimes I just have to do and hope for the best. In the meantime I’ve already sold three of the new ones. Now I just need to finish the eleven remaining. They are three fifths of the way completed.
