I have no new image to post here, but felt compelled to add an entry. For the past couple months I have been going through older, less remarkable paintings and reworking them to figure out different -and hopefully- more successful  solutions. I'm finding this very gratifying, and learning a lot.
  Today, the last day of the year, I summoned up the courage to tear apart my work room and hauled out storage boxes of paintings and drawings that go well back into the 1970's (and some earlier). Having a fine time sorting through the piles of drawings and prints, culling out the "keepers" and discarding the rest into a recycle bin.  I found a lot of canvases that I will dismantle and stretch with new canvas. I have taken digital shots of most of it, so I can always look at those, if I feel the need to look back.
I'm looking forward to having more space to work in, and get started on some new works.
Happy New Year tomorrow! I'll be spending part of it continuing to sort and purge.
