		<title>Re: Funride Slowdown</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not exactly stuck right now, but not progressing on this either.  To be honest, my whole painting apparatus is on pause.  I have had a stirring desire for several months to paint really, really big and I&#8217;m confident that I&#8217;ll work my way over to that&#8230;but for right now I&#8217;ve got this piece [...]]]></description>

		<title>Re: Funride, progress continues</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m digging the development of this piece.  Literally, it feels like old times.  I&#8217;d almost forgotten what it felt like to be a painter.  There is an amazing feeling of comfort that I get from being &#8220;in-process&#8221; on a painting that I forget from time to time when I&#8217;ve been distracted by [...]]]></description>

		<title>Re: Funride</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Haven&#8217;t been painting lately, the retreat has long been sounded on three different pieces I&#8217;ve been working on &#8211; haha, it&#8217;s not pretty at all.  But, today I had an epiphany about one of those paintings which has been eluding me since last October.  As the piece got going initially, I remember that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pod 11, Fubar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t think there are enough curse words in the dictionary to capture the way I feel about this painting.  It&#8217;s bad.  And what&#8217;s worse is that I&#8217;ve been immobilized by it.  Haven&#8217;t been able to pick up a brush to rally against it in what seems like weeks.  Sure, I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dually Noted</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Occasionally, I can get it right straight out of the gate.  My most recent piece, &#8220;Dually Noted&#8221;, is an excellent example of that, sometimes rare, phenomenon.  When I finished it this past week I got an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for being able to make art.  Needless to say, it was a [...]]]></description>

Working my way to some sort of something that passes for decent composition with this piece.  As you can see, the painting got darker for a bit.  To see what happened next, click here.  Pretty neat eh?  The painting is not done by any [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pod 3 Flashback</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Below are some pictures of &#8220;Pod 3&#8243; coming to life on location last year.  The end result is definitely abstract, which tends to happen when I work under time constraints.  In this case, I started the painting mid-afternoon and had to finish before dark.  It was the maiden voyage of my new [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stuck</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Things started well enough with this piece &#8230;  

&#8230; and they progressed naturally enough &#8230;

&#160;
 &#8230; the only problem is that this last photo to the left was taken this past week and the very first one was taken this past week &#8230; in freakin&#8217; 2009!!!  Now that&#8217;s called stuck.  I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>
