Corova Beach (SOLD)

Here is one right at the end of 2016.
Here is the end of my 8th full year of painting and blogging about it.
this is blog post #1610. 1610 times I have braved judgement and hit the "publish" button.
It does not get easier, but solace comes in seeing that yes, I am a better painter. 102 paintings this year. Keep up the good work, Rick.

The Wake of your tail (SOLD)

I am no animal behaviorist, but I believe horses that are subjected to relentless biting flies stay in the wake of their neighbor's tail. I would. Take my word for it, this is my 1600th post on this blog. I have done at least one painting per post, probably a lot more. The more I paint the more critical my eye becomes. I only post the ones I am truly satisfied with.

A cup of cake with a cherry

Who wouldn't love a little cake.
Things seem so different now. Now that it is the year 2016.  I think maintaining a blog offers a  clearer perspective or a reference point for life and for sure paintings.   It is all so true that painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult once you do. 
and the results do not seem to show or follow some logical or allegorical  scheme, but just some random chain of events tied together with overviews of my existence on these outer banks. I know that blogging is a more lonely place since facebook. That has changed.
I look back on my painting archives from 2007 and 2008 and realize that "things seem so different now".
