Old and New, Drama vs Cheerfulness




The sunset landscape up far above is the first painting I did in oils years ago.

The abstract painting below that ("Golden Showers") is one of my latest in oils, talk about gravitating towards abstraction as we grow.

Amazing feeling, I get up in the morning, pick up a certain medium to go with my mood, choose my palette and get busy painting.   A few hours later I feel exhausted and starved.  Then I realize that I've just finished a painting without feeling the time.  Lately, I surprise myself when I step back and look at my final result!   Golden Showers gave me that feeling, very rewarding.
