Aye yes it was a sad time long ago as I struggled to get through one of my first bouts of loneliness in the wake of being spurned. I was recommended a session with a lady {alas I don’t recall her name but she was witchy} who besides various meditation/ breathing exercises recommended that I lay down in several pillows.

When I paint with light and shadow it is a visual way that life makes sense to me. It puts me back on track- because I feel what my life is about. Seeking what is within and bringing it out. So to bring home this philosophy {if that is possible} I am in my element if I am working with light and shadow. That was where I was going astray. When you are working with the deadlines that I am- it can be hard to know what decisions to make on a piece… but studying light- that is when I know the piece or the story is off.
