Recent paintings from my sketchbooks
Hilð, Iceland. Gouache painting. A green mountain in the background as clouds obscure its peak. A rocky green cliff juts out of the left-side middle ground. Two white houses with red roofs and a meadow of purple flowers appear in the foreground. A sunset is painted in a sketchbook. The painting is only of the clouds, in oranges and purples, with a cerulean sky behind them. Hilð, Iceland. Gouache painting. Yellow and green grasses lead to a glassy body of water. A mountain the same color as the water sits above, only a few shades darker than the sky. one fluffy cloud sits in the sky.

There is a hole in the world, a void, an emptiness, shaped like the art you haven't made yet.
