Iterations of Isolation is now underpainted. I came up with this idea about six months ago and it's one of my largest paintings to date. Over the past few days my thoughts and feelings, and concerns, and insecurities, and smiles, and nightly dreams have been dwelling on a friend who occupies a unique and special place in my heart and life. I also feel under pressure about arranging my art exhibition next month. I feel that, as in this painting, I'm making everything seem gigantic and of huge importance when it isn't.
