Though the arrangement seems haphazard, closer examination reveals that's not so. For instance, a painting of a thirsty cowboy and his horse in the desert is wittily placed next to a view of a perfect mountain lake, rider and mount endlessly traveling to refreshment that's always just a picture frame out of reach. Not only in the themes but also in the play of paint textures and colors and light. I don't have a favorite. Once I've completed a painting, I can't think of it that way.
Painting is often such hard work.
I've painted 18 hours at a stretch before. Sometimes you're just glad to have the damn thing done because a blank canvas can be terrifying.
