Chopin’s Nocturne Op.9 No.1 image 20

Partial image close up.   This work is nearing completion hopefully this weekend.  There is a feeling, an attachment that should comfort the next owner.  They can stare close, and gently touch the surface knowing how lucky they are to be at the moment again. There is a bond that will never be greater then now, and whoever has the next now will know the moment, a bit, a thought, a time, what it  feels to be there, and closely move among the paint, eyes wide open.

Close up image of some of tonights work.  It is a comfort that is hope for, as the consensus is beginning to form.  It is a realization that the end is near, near which is never clear, just near being good enough.   It is the desire to let go, to let it all out, knowing the restraints are present to guide the results.  The canvas never lies, nor reveals itself to prove the point.

Close up first 6 feet of painting.  It seems that in time a closeness develops and a guidance begins then growths and keeps edging forward.   Is it the willingness to except that is involved, or the growth of a quiet understanding that becomes more difficult to be shared.  That is the question that is the face of great art.
