Too Far From Where You Are , encaustic on panel , 38 x 30 inches , 2014
It ’ s here where I take a breath , take some long looks at my painting and assess what ’ s going on . I begin to formulate answers to these questions :
• What am I compelled to look at , where does my eye stop ?
• Why do I care ?
• Am I doing a proper job of executing this work ?
• Is there a construction problem with the composition ?
• Are my perspectives shifting appropriately ?
• Am I able to embrace the process or have I too tight a grip on the outcome ?
