First Stop DC...perfection is procrastination

Dear Friends, In lieu of preparing the perfect Blog perfectly synched up with my day to day activities...I will just get started in sharing my travels and paintings with you right now! Perfection is procrastination



My first stop was to visit my family in MD. ten minutes out side of DC. Sunny skies.
I spent the day contemplating art and dreaming of the next level that I must take my work.

I was mesmerized by the Buddhist room in the Freer Gallery and the Whistler paintings.
Staring at the sky in front of the Hirshorn Sculpture museum.
The Whistler paintings were amazing in that they were flat and like a wash at some points and Japanese and posterized at moments....yet when it came to the expression...all details brought the smallest of faces to life...truly beautiful. Here is a detail.


I am in my in laws home in the Berkshires right now. The only reception in the basement where I
sleep is in the bathroom and the cold floor is is no longer very comfortable so..... I will be in touch again tomorrow!
