This is the beginning of a painting started yesterday celebrating my new birthday, one year after cancer surgery. I am one happy camper. Now I have a few paintings I’ve started. That is the easy part. I have to go back in and adjust or take care of areas that don’t work. This gets tricky because each stroke I make changes the whole painting, so I have more problems to solve. As, Henry J. Kaiser used to say, “Problems are opportunities in work clothes.”
like the quote and the painting, glad your inspired.

I think that problem solving is all there is, really. Happy birthday (for the other day) and happy painting/problem solving Carla. There is a tremendous vitality to the work above.

Thanks Terry. I’m feeling good and just hunting for any big piece of canvas I can find in the studio. Somehow I found this big gessoed stretched canvas – a little grubby around the edges but it was just a good way to clean it up with some paint!

Carla, I hope you will share some of the progression of this canvas, or your thoughts about it as it leads to the next one. Happy your new birthday and the GGB birthday. Good fireworks for both, yours in paint, the bridges with sulphur.
