And here I am actually painting . . .

Here is the third in the series of living room paintings. I finished it and sold it last night at the ArtCetera event. I think I will miss it actually . . .

This time I added a person to the living room. When I took my last painting class, I thought the professor talking about the significance of an empty chair was slightly over-analytical. Now, I think about it a lot. What is space unoccupied versus comfortably taken-for-granted and lived in? The painting itself is driving me crazy; it has not really come to me, and I have done and redone her face over and over again.

This is what I am working on this week.

My first time to paint a living room that doesn't actually involve rollers and paint trays . . . but I am still working on it, hard to know exactly when it's finished, since I kind of want it to have an ethereal quality.
