The key to success in anything is constantly working on your craft. Painting anything is an opportunity to improve, experiment and refine. I get squirrely when I'm away from the studio for to long. Being in the studio and painting makes me happy.
Below are some photos of my subjects and a shelf in my studio where three pieces in the works wait patiently for their turn at the easel.
