A New Start

The "Autumn" Tree

After a bit of a dry spell (discouragement, apathy, artistic block...) I'm back to producing new work and enjoying it again. This shot is part of my new carved 36" coffee table. I'm in the process of painting the trees and sky. This piece will be for my own home - first time in a long time that I've made something just for myself, not for sale. Nothing has ever felt so much "me" and it's bringing me so much joy. It's great that I can work on it a little bit each day, even if I'm doing other artwork. Even 15 minutes worth is a nice little painting session. I'm in my happy place again. :-)
