The month of January was a freebie. I didn't expect to have time in the studio this winter, but the "ebb and flow" (technical term for neither looking nor finding) of corporate work allowed for it to happen. I must admit, cranking up the heater in the studio each day and working in the cold and rain is not as glorious as summer, but I'm not complaining. Looking at a few of my paintings, I can tell they were created in winter. Look at all that gray and white! I have been experimenting a lot with texture - using a pallet knife and caking it on. It is fun. Hard to control and freeing as a result.
