The Possession Continues

Sunday night I was fooling around with my paints and picked up a small scrap of canvas that had been painted on but not finished.

I had some tinted whites mixed up from the last vase in that series and was suddenly compelled to paint. I painted till 2:00am

then was back up in the studio at 7:30 after breakfast.

 Now it has been 5 days of obsessive painting the same thing over and over, and each one I do increases my need to do them.

Painting till I had to leave for an appointment and almost missing it was a realization that someone else is helping me out with these paintings.

They are unlike anything I have ever done.
