I always thought by the time I got to this stage of my life as an artist, perspective would be a breeze……yeah, right.  The photo wasn’t clear, and it never occurs to me to actually LOOK at the porch across the street to see how the lines go to the vanishing point.  So, my absence has been due to my struggling with this:

 

Once an art teacher challenged me to draw the perspective on a spiral staircase.  Masochist that I was at 16, I actually tried.

 

So,  I keep saying I want to do artwork that heals and relieves suffering.  By the time I get done with this, I’ll be in need of some real healing myself!
