I've been pretty busy with painting this year. I've also been reading some of the classics I had never read: War and Peace and Don Quixote. I'm actually still reading the latter (close to finishing it). But painting is where I spend most of my free time. I'm still primarily an abstract painter, though I occasionally work more realistically.
"Shimmers" (9x12 inches)
It's listed on Etsy for a better view of it.

Untitled (9x12 inches)
Abstract art is not for everyone, but for those who like it, which is still millions of people, abstract art speaks to them through color, shape, and design, and, perhaps, through emotions. How all that works together is difficult to explain. For me, knowing when a painting is finished is usually intuitive, a realization that it works (for me) and there is nothing more to do, and, obviously, I like it.
"2084" (11x14 inches)
This painting made me think of the novel 1984. You can view it better on Etsy.
Of course, I've done more paintings and have many more to do. I hope you're doing what you enjoy doing, whether it's gardening or writing or painting or music.
