Sign Post and Surprise

Time and again, I am full of surprise and wonder when I see one of my works, sometimes older, sometimes newer, and I am reminded that, yes, I really did paint, or draw, or sculpt that.

I tend to rotate works around my house periodically and sometimes a work will end up in storage and out of sight for a while. The image may go out of my peripheral consciousness. When I see the work again, I have to look at it and imagine myself in the creative process. I remember the order of its creation, the drawing of a line, the rendering of a mass.

For a moment, I relive its birth and feel the joy all over again.
