“The Successful Return” Completed

by be-forbes | Feb 5, 2017 | "The Successful Return", Uncategorized

Well, I’ve finally finished my first painting in a very long time. (I got a bad case of the “Artist Interruptus” from a stroke.) And, not only did I finish, I signed the painting, I don’t remember ever enjoying my addition of the...

Me, and and my tenuous relationship with sanity.

by be-forbes | Jan 30, 2017 | "The Successful Return", My Art Experiences

Well, this morning I did something I’ve done my whole career and plum forgot about it. It was always a, I don’t know, salubrious occasion. I did my final “punch list,” a detailed list of details; clipping tags as a tailor would say, or a final...

Flat Water – Artistic Growth Or Nemesis?

by be-forbes | Dec 30, 2016 | "The Successful Return", My Art Experiences, Observations, Uncategorized

This is actually taking me far longer than I had imagined. In fact, I thought I’d be finished by now. That said, I can’t recall painting an original that didn’t move along far slow than expected. The act of painting will field-test any man’s...
