I have decided to stop writing essays for now, although I will continue to post new paintings as I finish them.
In part, I wish to devote more energy to painting. But another reason for not writing is I find myself starting to repeat ideas. I began these essays to help me (and I hoped others) learn to live with illness. In these essays I thought about fear and the necessity of allowing it; about letting go of a need for order; about the scale of little things. In short, through these writings I feel I’ve learned to live fairly well, with a kind of joy although tempered by moments still of anger, frustration or sorrow. But the joy predominates. I don’t need to dwell on these anymore. I’d rather get on with life and its joys. And with painting
Thanks for all your comments and support.

Glad to hear you're doing well. I'm a former student who's been reading for a while now, and the long silence concerned me. Enjoy your paints.
