Giving it time

I did these paintings year ago. I didn't like them at the time, they went up on the shelf where I hardly ever look.

But I looked at them today and feel totally differently about them. What's changed? My instinct is to say, "I painted these? I was a different person then. So interesting...

Sunflower

This is a commission I finished recently.

When I sat down to work on it, at first I almost gave in and went back to watching movies. The winter blahs were taking over. But I made myself start at least sketching out the lines, looking at my potted sunflower, and the rest drew itself.

The words are from Megan. Thank you Megan!
