I look at this blog page as a process of reconfiguring my creative self, a rearranging, fresh juxtaposing for new views, and hopefully integrating parts that are me now and have been before. It is a kind of sense-making of the road behind and the one ahead.
I have recently made a conscious choice to make my painting more central to my life, a choice that has meant cleaving away from other possibilities that I also hold dear. I have taken this fork in the road because it is in me, my whole life has led me to this point. I have to trust that and here I hope that consciously articulating the process will enliven it, and perhaps I will find others doing the same...
At times there is nothing to do but become silent and patient, and to work on what has always been missing. Maybe it is my own lack of vision, focus and commitment to an authentic life that has held me back. Anyway here I am, taking stock to find out what is essential to me.
