close to the last one.....

Here is the finished work from the last post. It's not the last painting of the year because I finished another one yesterday and will probably do the same today, but close to the last piece of 2010. It feels very much like a farewell to the past year. It's a full meal deal with familiar shapes, colors and textures swirling in all that was 2010. The good, the bad and the ugly. All the parts represented and waving goodbye as the clock ticks down.



I give a sigh and a smile as I look at this painting. It's a map of my life this past year and leaves me with remnants to fall into the new year. See you all on the other side of 2010!

Did I start on the wine too soon or does this piece look like it's moving? I'm like the cat looking down into the pond. Cheers to a very Happy New Year, Jeane. Sending lots of love to you. Ax

Jeane, Your paintings continue to reach incredible depths. They are so rich and textured and my favorite word for your work is luminous. Looking forward to seeing your work in 2011! Happy New Year!!
