Paintings serve as signs on a journey...

It is incredible how much I can learn by reflecting on past work!  I actually always considered documenting the work and classifying it as extraneous.

Now I can find correlations between work done in the past and  what I am doing now. Paintings are like signs showing where I am and where I need to go. I guess it is kind of like looking at a map of time!

I guess it's kind of like looking at                photographs or journals to reset your compass!

So as I do new work I am surveying the past work observing my path.

Now that midsummer is in full swing, I am loving the flexible  time it gives me to paint, draw, cook  and read! In a search for wheat-free recipes for one of my visiting sons, I found a Elana's Pantry with great attiTUDE and extremely creative recipes! Her cookbook is coming out next week!  Can't wait!
