(Nothing Happens in the Spring)

So, for no reason in particular, apparently the arts gods have decided that nothing note-worthy happened in the spring, except for a large 2 1/2' x 4' beasty that is now residing in Baltimore.


Speaking of the spring... I've had a particularly unproductive and color-deficient spring as far as art is concerned, however, through a series of events, I've been inspired/driven/forced to grab my brush by the balls and whipped out two paintings in a day yesterday, much to my pleasant and exhausted surprise.  I'm not entirely sure they're done yet, so I'm not posting them here, but it was interesting to me to see at the end of the night when the brush was down and my crazy little art heart was tired and refreshed, that I still have it.  I was also encouraged to rediscover after a mini mental blow to the head late last week that even though I haven't painted anything since March, that both the hectic things in life as well as the simple can still creep deep into my head and somehow escape through my fingers into something that I can look at and be proud of. 


So while my latest babies are still cooking, here's a sneak preview at the hectic and the simple.
