Two works a long time evolving in development

I began this large oil painting (4x5 ft.) in 2011 and could never quite complete it. Every so often I would take it from its storage space and review it. Sometimes I would make sketches and jot down ideas, but never resume. Finally in January 2024 I resumed working on it and finished...13 years later.

Arrival at the Font of Wisdom

I produced this large work on paper during my sabbatical in North Carolina, summer of 2022. I very much liked it in its initial stages but knew that I had yet to bring it to completion, so I set it aside. I did have an original sketch but could never bring myself to add the figure of the soul flying upward into the sky-scape. In January of 2024 I finished it.
