The Passion is the Painting

A friend of mine recently posed a question regarding an essay I had written. "Okay, I get it. It sounds very academic, but I want to hear from you! What are your passions, inspirations, frustrations, etc."

This revealing thing, in painting, is intrinsic to the process for me. But writing about it is a whooole different ballgame. And so this blog will stand for me as an exercise to reveal more. Reveal more about the process, the raging frustrations, the challenges, the rewards, the ebbs and flows, about what goes on behind the painting surface.

And it's out there for complete strangers to judge.
Scary... I know.
