A Monster Within

Tree, Cir 2011, Oil on canvas

I believe I would have allowed that blank canvas to remain blank forever had it not been for a wonderful person coming into my life.  He has reopened my eyes and heart to painting.  He may have very well even awoken a sleeping monster.  This is the result of my first attempt at painting.  
Now, if you find you can't reach me by phone and I don't answer the door for hours and hours... well just assume I have been swallowed alive in a world of fantasy and color. 
BEEP! "Leave a message and I will get back to you when I've swam ashore."
