Title Yet to Come

I am surely putting in the hours these days as fall fades away and winter puts its iron claws on the world. The leaves are  gone, the days so short. I go to the studio early morning and work many hours. It’s rather cozy out there.The cat is getting used to visiting with me rather than spending time by himself in the house. And if he is outside, snow is not appealing to him. He shakes his feet and quickly comes back in.

I have spent three weeks on three pieces. That is a long time for me Usually I produce many more pieces in a short time. Something in me is telling me ‘less is more’. And ‘less is more’ on the canvas as well. Seems I am taking so long to finish a piece. The layers are thinner but the depth is increasing. Just like the water I am trying to express. Simplifying the image as well. I think the lotus is so overused but if I focus on the material I hope I can transcend the normalcy of the flower. So many layers and so much scraping off of wax.

Images to follow when I have them. And the simpler the image the more difficult it is to photograph.
