Island Time

Oil on Wood

My biggest fan insisted I post paintings again, so here goes. I am still reliving my time in the Cove. Calm and cool, a step away from the rest of the World.
Someone posed the question, "How do you know when a painting is finished?" My answer is, "I try to stop before I over-think it." Which is why I like to work small and fast. But the real answer is that nothing is ever finished. I've been painting over old paintings all month. This quote hangs on my wall, "Don't ever assume you've finished anything." Painting, like all art, and Life, for that matter, is a process. Non-linear. Messy. Mysterious. And never-ending.

For Jessica Keane, my amazing and dedicated doctor, the voice of reason and calm. She managed my medical care from 3,000 miles away and talked me

down more than once. Doctors do what they do so we can survive another day to do what we do. I am grateful beyond measure.

I am no longer there in the Cove. But it is still with me.

And I just might go on recreating it for some time to come. With great music filling the studio, Bach's Well Tempered Clavier, Dvorak's Quintet No. 81, and the memory of Maine in my mind's eye, beauty abounds. And the ills of the world are kept at bay.

After two months of medical mayhem I am back. To painting, and loving and laughing and everything else that matters most.

Health is everything.
