Linda and Terri,
Thank you for your kind words - it is nice to feel you have been missed. The main reason that I have not posted much recently is that I have been very busy doing research on the creative process - specifically the experience of "flow" - a psychological state that I am sure many on this forum have experienced. It is when you become so involved in what you are doing that you lose all sense of time passing and become thoroughly immersed in the task. As you probably know it is a very enjoyable experience, and one that probably motivates artists to paint more.
Linda, I am currently working on a very ambitious self-portrait where I am moving away from the clean lines of my previous portraits toward a far looser, more painterly, style. Isn't that the beauty of self-portraits? no clients to satisfy. I will try and post that once it is finished.
Thanks again for your comments. And may you find flow frequently.
