Been Paintin’
Here are some more in progress works…. Some shapes have found new lives, as beehives or vessels. I’m working through some of these on a really free-floating, subconscious level, but then when I step back, I see so many connections. What it all means? Not exactly sure, but I think that’s the fun of it. Not knowing, but trusting that it leads somewhere. Of course, one doesn’t need to go to far before the metaphor of vessel becomes bodily. Body as container…etc. All very interesting, as I am truly and forever stymied by the very nature of us and … all of this.
Simple, and satisfying. Looks like a beehive.
Tree rings…..thought it would be cool. Ten hours later, not so sure.
And then there’s the nice getaway paintings. They are my warm-ups now. I also just learned how to crochet thanks to my gal friend Ramona, who needs to come back and help me as my scarf is shrinking and shrinking, as I keep going and going!?! Wha?!? I don’t know what I’m doing but it’s starting to curl?

Look at those paintings…
“Not knowing, but trusting that it leads somewhere.”
I love that… there is a purity in that. John Cassavetes used to talk about this. His big thing was not being afraid of what you don’t know.
He often said the process of making the movie was more important than the final product.
I feel you work with a similar spirit.

Awe thanks Mushnik!
Yes, I like the process, the journey as much as the destination. If not more. Actually yes, I love the open road, and the little road side cafe’s more than the city you’re driving to.
Thanks for giving me the night off

I love taking a Greyhound bus back from San Francisco and stopping in little towns like Salinas, Avenal, etc.
