Today Barb and I went down to the gallery to see the new work framed and ready for next weeks opening. It is the first time I have seen the new colors and direction that my work has taken. First time I have really seen it. Before today it was a felt situation. Now with the distance of time and the separation from the studio I saw the work.  It looked really good and made me want to engage for a long look. That is always a good sign. I dove right in and started finding my way through each piece. These works really allow the viewer to spend a lot of time within each print. They have a solid first hit and then pull you in and take you on a visual journey that a lot of work does not get to.
