Gap

These three days between the 8/27/09 and 8/31/09 represent. . well a lot. a very tough couple days for me, the culmination of a stressful 12 months and a even more stressful last month or two. I won't go into details but I will say as much as I wanted to get up after all of the work I had to do and still do the paintings, my body didn't agree. I was almost going to do extra paintings to make up for them, but decided to let the gap in my series reflect what the whole series itself has been reflecting, my life, and my steps forward and all my shortfalls; days where I don't want to paint but force myself; days where I'm too ambitious, incredibly inspired; and days when I literally can't lift a paintbrush and can't, or don't.
