Batter/Sea/Kennel/Studio

People came. Looked. Talked. Bought. Why not? These paintings are beautiful in their skin.

In truth it felt like the studio had had its soul/intestines ripped out and mounted like a butterfly. But pleased, that pinned out dissected, it held up.

Now glad to get it back, to build up its scent again, like a dog after its yearly bath.

Expansion for a while, before contracting and condensing once again -  painting uninterrupted now this is over.
