Well, my project is already having beneficial effects. I am feeling a lot more focused and in control. The other night I had a painting session that didn’t go very well and I was in high ‘hack mode’. I felt that I had to try to cater to other people’s concepts and work more realistically.…

This is the latest in my series for the upcoming group show. You may recall that I was worried about my technique becoming too tight? It turns out I had no need to worry! Many artists feel that when they are becoming too detail orientated and too.. hindered in their flow then it is good…
