I am always going back to art, over and over. Because I leave it. After a week, a month or just a day. Sometimes it is harder than others.
Yesterday I got back by painting 3 quick pictures on small bits of board. 20 mins max. Then the rest of the day on a bigger and much more difficult dance painting. It is shown here cropped severely, and yet maybe not enough.
