Celina asked me to do this painting months ago.  And over time, I worked and worked and worked until my painting style changed a little bit from before and grew into something elegant, mysterious, dark and light and magical.   It’s interpretive, and when I say that, I mean its almost like a visual landscape of feeling, thoughts and intuition.  A made up space that is neither here nor there, but is everywhere at once, inside and outside, literal and utterly not.

I did a personality quiz last night to double check that I am indeed who I think I am.  I am an INFP.  (I double checked with two different websites, just to be sure.)   It means:  Introverted,  iNtuitive, Feeling, Perceiving.  The web describes this as an idealistic healer.  I think I agree.  And I guess it turns out that after all, I am doing the exact thing that I should be.

It is easy to feel defeated as an idealist in such a heavy American current.  Lol.  But, even if it takes a year, I can guess I can just keep reworking the details, trying again, until my painting is finally done and I am ready for the next one to begin.
