Since this painting is in so many ways 2010 to me, it’s appropriate that it finishes on December 31st 2010. The subtitle is from Philip Glass’ Akhnaten, which was playing for most of the time I worked on this piece and I’m sure started to influence it, as did my trip to Canada and time spent with the work of Lawren Harris in the AGO. I’m not sure there will ever be a time when there’s not something to change or add but it’s been a learning piece and sometimes you have to walk away with the lessons under the arm and put them into practice.
2011 is on the horizon; and the doors are wide open. Happy new year everyone!
