New paintings, hot off the easel, and some thoughts on art and life ...

This one is almost done. A few more places to work on, then it's off to the gallery. I think I'm going to call it "Archaeology." Sometimes as I'm painting a title just occurs to me, and that's what happened this time, probably because I was using a scraping tool in some places. I painted in layers, then scraped back some parts to reveal colors underneath, and that process reminded me of digging for fossils (although, from what I understand, archaeology is often done with delicate brushes, not big scrapers).  In any case, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
