Eyes Wide Shut

 It's been a rough couple of weeks.  I haven't felt much like doing anything creative.  I decided it was time to get back in the studio and paint something.

20x20 stretched canvas layer of gesso with lots of texture!  
Background painted with acrylics - just slap some paint on canvas to get started

Charcoal sketch 
R&F oil paint sticks used for portrait - blend paint with finger tips - messy!

I find that sometimes painting heals -- or at least helps us toward healing. I hope it does the same for you. I know these days must be terribly difficult and lonely. But I'm glad you are back in the studio. Stay well and strong.

Thank you, Jeanie. My emotions are all over the place.
