It's been awhile since I've had any inspiration to paint. Other matters have been grabbing my attention.
My jewelry life has taken over. A new gallery in Seattle and a new way of doing things. I'm finding out what it's like to step up to the 'Seattle' plate.
When I told my daughter of my good fortune she reminded me of the time, many years ago, when we stood in this gallery and I said, "Someday I will have my jewelry here."
Now I think about those canvases that have been sitting in the corner, waiting for me and I think, "Someday I'll paint with oils".
To do that I need to get back to the basics.
