Been some time since I have been on the forum… been busy painting. Here is one I just finished. “A Long Time Coming”, 24×36 inch. From the Decline of an Empire series. Here is my attempt at a description: A purposeful search led me to an all but forgotten winding road where something caught my eye, compelling me to stop. Illuminated by a dull overcast sky stood a once proud and well-built dwelling. Now abandoned the weeds and vines were taking over, chocking out the last bit of life it once had. I was dimly aware of how it touched me, but I knew it held deep meaning, and knew it would be a painting. 38 years later the painting was finished. It was a long time coming.
