New Painting


I do not get nearly as much time to paint and draw as I would like but I had some free time in my Seattle hotel on Thursday evening so I painted. I had brought along with me a few paints and markers plus what I call my underpainting. It is the basic outline of a painting filled in with " paint marks." It is what I like to think of as the bones of a piece. Phil fell asleep so I was able to stay up and in the solitude of a strange room, air conditioner humming in the background, couch as stiff as bedrock; I painted and found my muse.
