Ascension Revisited

This is what happens when a commissioned piece is not delivered for a *few* months...after many haunting side-glances, I dove back into this painting. Here is what it looked like several months ago, when I first declared it complete.

It's finally been delivered to its new home. Thanks Joan and Miquel.

I haven't been blogging of late, but I have certainly been painting. Now I've got lots to post for your perusal. I'll start with a commission I just finished, above.



The paint is thinly applied in this piece with many, many layers of text from a truly inspiring Moving Story (español) written in Catalan that I received from an anonymous donor. Thank you, "Buster Keaton".
You may recognize the stairs drawn in perspective from an earlier post.
And a special thanks to Joan and Miquel for adopting this one. You two inspire me.
