Small Abstract No. 17This is a painting of winter.  All that blue and white means cold to me.

If you’ve been wondering where I went, it has everything to do with winter… in that it just won’t go away.  The cold weather does really evil things to me, not the least of which is sucking out nearly every drop of motivation I have.  Bad winter!  Bad, bad, bad!

I have discovered, however, that if I get at least nine hours of sleep a night, some of my energy and motivation return!  Hurray!  So if I disappear again, chances are I’m only getting a pathetic seven or eight hours of sleep.
