I’ve been painting for most of my life. With nearly every painting I do, I sincerely believe that I will keep the finished piece for myself. Then once the painting is completed, inevitably, someone falls in love with it. When someone loves my work that much, I insist that they have the piece. How can I not, I can always do another one for myself…except that I never do.
So, finally, I recently decided that I will do a painting for myself. When it is complete, it will hang in my house, for me, no matter who loves it. The piece I am planning will be one of my musical paintings of a song that I have loved since I was a little girl: Old Man by Neil Young.
So that is my intention, only time will tell what happens to the piece if someone should happen to fall in love with it.
