Slowing Down

This is notable because it evolved over many sessions,

which is not my usual approach. 

I spent a long time on the drawing 

and mixing the colors for this one.

"Pink Sheets" 

16 x 20 oil on stretched linen

I had a 16 x 20 oil primed linen stretched canvas  

in my studio that was just begging to be used. 

Slowing down and planning ahead has opened doors

for some exciting discoveries and I am thrilled. 

More than ever, I am reminded of my favorite quote 

from an old friend Brooks Kelley. 

"I paint to see what it will look like".
