Still groping through images with paint.  I have fantasies that others can connect somehow.  I find that painting keeps me out of trouble as I do it in a contained space and usually I'm alone.  I like having the pictures as touchstones and enjoy meeting strangers who want to own them.  I think the process of buying art and owning someone else's work is fascinating.  It's very intimate buying and owning someone's art and yet it's culturally accepted and encouraged too.  Kind of sticky but I like the strangeness and informality about it all.
