The going has been rough these past several months, waves of unfavorable events kept washing up my shores, making at times hard to contain the stressful residue of momentary discouragement... I have not been able to work at my work much.

Things are diffused in surreal moments in black and white, landscapes awaiting re-awakening through hands in motion, and a healing absence of thought.
I have not been working at my work much, I have had to tend to matters of life that kept me away from the bench, and away from the drawing table.

And yet, enduring these times, keeping the eyes on the prize, never letting go!
