Rejoice in the day...

This is a painting I finished yesterday. I call it: Sol, green and blue. Kind of odd I suppose,  but I have always enjoyed the stylized sun as an image. This is an analogous color scheme. My other half doesn't like it, but I really enjoy the color. I don't know that it works as an image, but the color sings. The analogous color scheme would be: yellow green, green and blue green. I am not sure why my partner doesn't like it. I have no input from others as to why this does or doesn't work. Except, as I said, my wife and she said that she didn't enjoy the color harmonies. A long time ago I went to the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria, Virginia. It was a group of studios set up so that artists could display their work and sell it there. I spoke to an artist and told her of my interest in setting up a studio. One thing that she said that has always stuck with me was that if I were to work in isolation, my learning curve would be much longer. And that is what happened. I had to learn by trial and error instead of being influenced by others work. I have had some training. I had a half-years worth of art credits in college and art school.  I worked for a picture framer for a little while. I worked in an artist's supply store for a period. I have taken courses at  local art associations. And I've spent a lot of time in museums. But it has been so slow. My disability has been a   hindrance. I get tired very easily. My head injury makes it very difficult to stay on task. It takes two hours to complete a work. This is the limit of my concentration. When I was young I could spend many  hours at a time on a project. When I was in art school I could spend dozens of hours on a work. Now my depression does not give me that kind of concentration. When I sustained my head injury I developed PTSD and this really affected my ability to focus.
     I hope that some enjoy this, it isn't much. I have been working this week on trying to get some of my ability to function back. I have not had much time to paint.
     Perhaps tomorrow will be a better day... God Bless. Dale
