Today was an interesting day. We didn't sleep well last night. One we are both sick. Mad cold is racing through us. And two I am still thinking over the sadness of yesterday.
In my headachy state, I find that my best work comes from moments like this. My hand itched to get close to this canvas and here are the results.
"Self Reflection 2"
12x12 inches
Acrylic on Canvas

Both painting are hanging side by side now in what is turning to be my one wall gallery in my bedroom. Looking really well if I can say so myself. I knew that I wanted to have 3 of these paintings, but today seeing them the wall, I started thinking about how they will look in a gallery. If they were to go in a gallery they will need to fill a wall. Alone these 3 paintings will not be able to hold an entire wall and will also clash with my other work. An idea was born! 2 or 3 larger paintings in the same style but full body will complete this series. Nobody likes being sick but the best ideas come from times like this.
