I've decided to try oil painting (again after 30+ years!) since I have to "pastel" in the attic (dust problems), and the attic is not air conditioned. I can paint with oils in the bedroom & have some nice colorful smudges on the bedspread. This painting is "break-through" for me in the literal sense since I've been unable to do anything artistically since sometime in 2008. I am hoping to deliver myself from a career that I dreamed I would retire from with great satisfaction, but instead has left me longing to go back and try something else. Oh well, wah waaaah. Who knows where this will lead...

So nice to see a post from you. Are you 'done' with the advertising world too?
Thank you! Well, I'd say the advertising/design world is done with me anyway. Almost recovered from the chewed up & spit out years, nearly broke, but starting to feel a teeny tiny spark of "wait, I'm not finished yet" spiritual revival. Or maybe I'm just showing early signs of advanced dementia.
In other words, yes.
This is gorgeous! I really love the colors and I am glad you're doing oil painting again after so long, because you do it so well ^^
