Hi Jan! I can totally relate to having long journeys with certain paintings. I've done the same thing at times. A painting that was "finished" suddenly seems like it needs something more.
It's amazing to me that when we really listen to this gut feeling, that our paintings can become so much more vibrant. It's almost as if they need a period of dormancy, and we need to be away from it long enough to see it with fresh eyes. I love that you're committed to that process and producing your best work to share with the world. That love and excellence comes through our work to others for sure. If we don't care enough to really make it the best it can be, that shows too.
I'm so glad that my brother @lukestokes showed me your work when he was at my gallery, and that now I am following your work. Inspiring and beautiful.
I love the size that you're working in for this image. The "grandness" and awe really come through when the scale is large like this. Thank you for sharing your beautiful paintings. I'm looking forward to browsing your previous works and seeing your new work as it arises.
P.S. Your peace and hope come through in the way that you write. It's very apparent and appreciated.
