In Which the Artist Ponders Themes of Love and Tension and Time before Valentine's Day / by Tim Lane

There is this constant tension between the old and new work. Aspects of the old that I miss and appreciate more and more every day. Qualities of the new that feel earned and rewarding.

We’ll Make a Lover of You, 2005 is an old painting that I look back at and think, “Dang.”

It is 60”x48” on canvas.

I stopped making larger scale paintings like this because I couldn’t afford to ship them.

“Dang.”
