Oh, here's something

This painting was an assignment a couple of weeks ago. It's huge, like the size of me. My teacher said "This painting is so weird. I think it's changing my life." And then she just trailed off, saying she used to be a smoker and how she's trying to quit, just mumbling and touching her forehead. I'm glad even my not-fully-successful paintings are confusing important people.

I really, really like this. I don't know why and certainly am not a smart art professor/artist. But it really grabs me and soothes me at the same time.

Thank you so much! It's hard when I don't have money or space, because many of the things I show on my website may be painted over to conserve space and money, so this might be one that will cease to exist. It's interesting to think of paintings as existing in moments in time instead of somehow transcending time (or able to exist longer than a human being).
