The Long Path to Finished

I have finally completed the last panel for "Taken." I wish I could say I was struggling with difficult techniques or compositional questions; the truth is that I was fighting apathy. I have not sold much work lately and sometimes the accumulation of paintings curbs my urge to create. It is not that I need the money from selling work, it is that I feel I cannot share what I keep to myself. In many ways it mimics how Jesus works in my heart. Joy comes from sharing what I love.

On a positive note, the time away from painting has helped me focus on some new directions. Perhaps they will come out in some new work.
