Abject Frustration

Geological Fantasy Landscape

“Journey Beyond” 2’x2′ raised gesso and acrylic paint on panel.

I am having to spend time on admin work, and I am suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous frustration.”Journey Beyond”, is my latest offering, but it is finished now and so on to the stuff I don’t like. I am amassing images to put on a new decorative arts website, it will be De Metham Decorative Arts.com a selling site, that’s if it doesn’t drive me mad, or cause a divorce! constructing websites is so not a logical process. I am going stir crazy, and need to get my hands dirty again.

Red Landscape
