Reblog: a work-in-progress post from Feb’22 – My New Year’s Resolution, Finish This Painting by Feb ’25!

I’ve procrastinated finishing this post almost as much as finishing this painting, Dreaming With the Moon and Stars 2022-25, based on Childe Hassan’s gorgeous impressionist masterpiece, On the Balcony 1888.

I did do mostly impressionist work, scenes of Austin mostly, in the 2000s. Prior to that, in the 1980’s especially, I mostly did abstracts and straightforward realist work.

So I can see pretty clearly now I’ve always been moving toward blending my approaches to painting, and now I’m merging figures more into my mix of abstracts, impressionism and figures.

Seeing this decades long progression more clearly now, I feel I can risk allowing my heart and intuition to lead me into finally finishing my personal take of Hassan’s brilliant piece, On the Balcony, with my own 2025 personal version, Dreaming With the Moon and Stars.

Thanks so much for coming by 🙏❤️😊
