Behold. A close-up.

Here is a close-up of a painting that will be in our book. I've been painting. A lot. The original is 18x24"...

I changed the size of the paintings I was working on, I started painting standing up at an easel.. I engrossed myself in my work...and now I have the feeling of happiness that I was missing for so long. I don't stop thinking about painting.. and I am always walking to the easel and looking at what is going on. I'll be watching television at night and something calls me back to the easel to check at what I have been working on. My confidence as an artist is higher because I have developed the skills I need to take things where I want to take them instead of having the paintings take me on a cruise..

Did you happen to catch the Van Gogh clip on 60 minutes last night?
