I don’t think I’ve got burnout. I think it’s painting withdrawal. If I go too long (more than three days) without painting, I start losing my energy for anything else. Here we have the second view I did of the gates to God’s Acre in Bethania. It must be all the vertical linear strokes in the background, as well as the iron gates, that in my mind, give these paintings a sense of spirituality. How appropriate that I’d be featuring a painting of the entry to a burial ground today. My beloved mother died three years ago on this day.
