Never, never stop learning and growing, even when it hurts like hell...

The cowwoman has been hung out and dried lately.  This occasions angst.  Angst occasions paintings with a whole lot of kinetic energy.  I learned this new process from a weekend workshop.  Couldn't get his style, though.  This work is the result of many, many layers of paint, thinly applied and each layer sealed with a layer of acrylic varnish.  I just love this piece.  It is visual proof of the healing process I am experiencing in therapy.  And my therapist wants to buy it!  I don't know what "artful" is, but I think this is close to it.  It is complicated, full of energy, a burst of creativity I didn't know I had in me.  I just ordered 6 more cradled boards like this one to work on, and oeuvre # 2 is currently reposing on the board.  I slap at it several times a day.  It is taking its time revealing itself to me.  This is okay.  Probably I will begin another, then come back to it.  It's really all just amazing fun, art.
