My gosh, what a beautiful painting! It is like something out of a dream… absolutely magical. The mist, the fluid sky… this feels like it is breathing and alive. What a talent you have.
Your work space in this photograph seems like something out of a “how to paint” kind of TV program.
Thank you for sharing this!

great photo – something very compelling about the photo in relation to the painting. I like the poetry of a self portrait while painting an island – perhaps, the space where the artistic self lives & remains. Nice work

  Michael, thanks for posting such an insightful comment. No man is an island, but sometimes we need the space.

Like the others here, I love seeing a photo of you at work! It gives a whole different dimension to the painting and makes me feel as if I suddenly know your work a bit better for having seen you interact with it in the process of its making. And yes, the painting itself glows with life. Marvelous!
Best,
Kathryn
