"Wait a Minute" - mixed media on gallery wrapped canvas, 24" x 24" x 1.75". Ready to hang. Available here and at Artfinder.
It was BEAR WRESTLING WEEK in the seascapes course! Working on clouds and sea meeting sky - and wrestling paint and my own impatience day after day. And what I learned (or rather, was reminded of again) is to step away from the painting, contemplate and WAIT just a GOSH DARN MINUTE before making any more moves.
Which happened to take place at the same time my son's a cappella group was singing Willow Smith's "Wait a Minute" at the quarter finals in Florida. Which they won handily. Now how on EARTH could these things be connected?
Well, patience and waiting, for one.

Wait a Minute
And the sometimes surreal mental exercise which painting can be (6th dimension anyone?) and clouds. Just sitting in a cloud, oh wow. So if you'd like to tap your feet and groove a little to this upbeat and odd little number, click on the link below.
The piece finally came together in a big, wonderful way. Whew! A little rest is in order.
Note: no bears were harmed in the making of this piece of art. Unless you count mental bears. Several of those are now hog-tied in the studio. :)

Wait a minute!
I think I left my conscience on your front door step
Wait a minute!
I think I left my consciousness in the 6th dimension
But I'm here right now, right now
Just sitting in a cloud, oh wow
1. to step back and take in how this piece came together in a big, wonderful way, to come to a complete stop just a gosh darn minute in stillness and awe
2. to step in up close and personal to explore and and investigate and wonder: how jen do this scrape, that stroke, these layers, those rays of light
I may have a future as a bear wrangler. People may feel compelled to watch. ha ha!
