you may or may not have noticed the link to the other project i'm currently subjecting to myself-- the year in paint.

when i set out to do this last year, my wife thought i was completely insane (a feeling that is never really fully away from her). but, frank being frank i had to do it. a painting a week--- i could do that--- many artists do a painting a day... how hard could it be?

like anything else in life, there are good days and bad days. some weeks the brush just moves under it's own power and i OWN the subject. other weeks i want to crawl up in a ball and sit in a dark corner with a grey's anatomy dvd.

but we do what we do because we love what we do. good, bad or indifferent.

i'm in the homestretch with this project. after this week i'll only have 12 left to do---which will take me to the end of may. a complete showing of the pieces, at a local art gallery, will follow in august.

i have to admit, i will miss doing a painting every week. so i'm not going to stop.

wait 'till you see what i do next!
