People sometimes ask me if I become attached to my paintings to the degree that I resist letting them go. Generally that's not an issue. On the contrary I usually have forgotten the most recent work about fifteen minutes before its completion. My mind is surging ahead to the next challenge. I think that's pretty typical of most artists. Its the process of growing and seeing/learning new things that keeps us dreaming at night, certainly not revisiting past paintings.
I find that I can better appreciate my work after its aged awhile (preferably hanging on someone else s wall).
I will say I do enjoy sharing my studio with my little friends like these two shown. Its time to pull them down to make room for some current work and I'll miss their company.
