  1. I;m not sure I condone showing your palette, or your painting rags - bringing the studio into the gallery and all that. Preparing your slides. Incubating the petri dish. Seems a bit clinical to me.

    But I have wounds, many of them open, unhealing sores that keep on gifting me.

  7. I love Nelson's paintings, she works in a way that is clearly her own. And that is very hard to come by these days. I'm looking forward to seeing more of her work.
