“I am Lazarus, come from the dead, Come back to tell you all, I shall tell you all” -the lovesong of j alfred prufrock
I'm back.
Yup, I've had enough of the wasteland and had my fill of prickly pear sandwiches. I finally stuck a paintbrush between my ragged claws and brushed out this rough (prickly?) pear. I won't let that much time go by again without painting. It's frightening. Like being so far out to sea that you get that panicky feeling when you can't see the shore. I started to imagine just not painting anymore. Things become things again instead of a kaleidoscope of color shapes. I don't like the wasteland very much. I'm definitely not building a summer house here.
Seriously though, thanks to everyone who missed me. :)
P.S. This week I'm a featured artist on the DP Café.

Welcome back, dude! Nice work and good to see you back.
Wow, this is like a sun in the sky. Great painting.
Jeff, I DID come back like I said...and I have to say you put more into your shadows that some I've seen in what people put into their lights. Glad you decided to grab the ole brush and do it some more!

Missed seeing your paintings! Nothing wrong with taking a long break though, you might find that you were actually busy mentally preparing for new work :)
Glad you are back.
