The trip to Paris has been inspiring. I have returned home with a desire to write and paint and read. Now, if I can incorporate some exercise, then I will have more balance. This new painting is on yupo paper. The image of the astronaut from my latest series cropped and pushed forward at us has been in my mind for a while, now. Finally, it’s on paper. Yupo paper is exciting because it lends itself to an expressionistic look and feel. You can’t totally control the paint on the slick surface; you get some nice unexpected results. The flow of the paint is fun to explore.
