Becoming a Bear: An Abstract Painter Hibernates

Over the past two years I sought the solitude of creation. No shows, no openings, and little contact with my dear art pals!

Yes it was solace to hibernate in the waters of creativity.

My inward turning brought bounty. Paintings sprang to life. New LARGE paintings, new techniques, new flow and new powers. Yes and to improvisation classes.

Am I ready to lumber out of my cave? Not yet!

But I am taking a break from glorious aloneness and will be in two of my favorite shows.
