So many people have said they like my 'bubble thing'. I'm flattered and happy they like what I've been doing  but I considered it to be Bokeh or lens blur rather than bubbles. Whatever. In the case of this particular subject, I thought maybe it would be fun to make them look more like actual bubbles.

So......Here I am again. Finally!  Wow! Life sometimes gets in the way. Lots of stuff happening that took me away from painting. I didn't realize how much I depend on being  able to escape the world  to get any serious painting done. It hasn't been all lost time though. I couldn't force myself to be creative, but I did do some serious remodeling in the studio. Lots of heavy lifting and grunting. Climbing ladders, insulating, wiring and hanging sheet rock. Slapping paint on a canvas sounds pretty easy after that!   I managed to get going on the creative  work again and cranked out a few for your viewing pleasure. And... I'm working every day again in the studio again so who knows? I may star posting on this blog on a regular basis once more.
