Take a Chance

Having a show coming up in a couple months, I realized the experimental work that I did over the winter was still too crude to share. I layed out my old plein air paintings on the floor and was able to see my strengths and areas that needed improvement. At times, I find it difficult to share my own artwork; but I selected works worthy of showing. They are not perfect, but it's time to start putting my art out into the world. If I wait until my painting skills are on par with artists and techniques that I admire, I may run out of what time I have left in life. Waiting until circumstances are perfect can keep you in perpetual limbo. Seeing where I've been and knowing where I want to go, I can now start trying new things.
