letter to a friend

I wrote my girlfriend in Los Angeles and told her I thought I had lost some interest in painting. Painting involves brushes, oils, acrylics, canvas and perhaps paper and not too much else. The paint is suppose to speak. Lately, I feel more involved in site installations, mixed media artworks and doing art related activities that I enjoy to do rather than the tedious exercise I call painting. Today I photographed the yard and the gray. Next month, I will be doing another site installation on break up - our Alaska demise of winter (thankfully) that leads into longer days and warmer times. This is the start of my next project along with some residencies overseas that I am perusing.
