I loved hearing what Madeline had to say about this. Her take was quite different than mine, but one of the things I love about art is that there’s no one right answer. When I was in school, I had a hard time with math, because everyone had to come up with the same answer, and had to come by it in the same way. It seems like I usually come up with a different answer than everyone else. Always have.

Yeah, I made a few changes to this painting. Nobody liked it the way it was. Now I don’t care what anyone thinks, because I like it. 🙂

What a beautiful day for a wedding! Congratulations Jason and Alyssa!

All of the 9 paintings at Coho have a fish theme. This one hangs in the entryway.

This is my friend Anne sitting under “Crocodile Lagoon,” 24×36.

I hung my new exhibit at Coho tonight, along with my friend Anne. I’m pictured here with “A Fish (A Moving Light)” and “Yukon Reds.” I’m pretty excited about how the paintings look in the restaurant. I’d been so engrossed in painting that I’d begun to lose perspective as today approached. But I’m happy now and Anne described them as “spectacular,” which means a lot to me coming from her.
