When Mistakes Don’t Matter

There are numerous mistakes here, but you may not see them.  It doesn’t matter because the overall feeling flows, and the line is sensitive.  Sometimes you must let it go, whatever it is, and let a new solution come in.  Mistakes in a drawing and in life are in...

Swept Away

Brigadoon? or Just Heaven on Earth?

  A 2nd storm was coming when I was painting this at the Art Barge in Amagansett this Fall. The clouds whirled by. The fog lifted, and you could see deep into the distance. The next moment, the fog descended and all was impenetrable.   When I first started to...

A Look Under the Hood (How I Start a Painting)
