Fellow Art Lovers:
It's really something when you need to paint to feel good. Guilty. The other day, when I was making preparations for my departure, I was feeling a little blue. What did I need to do? You guessed it. I needed to paint.
So, I decided to begin one more of the paintings for my Brooklyn series. This is a work in progress. I think it needs some more work, and no tittle comes to mind.
But I want to tell you that painting it was a pleasure. I felt free, and I think I'm starting to capture the subject's expression. He is, as you might guess, a fish monger, and he's one of those merchants who is a pillar of his community, and he seems like a very nice person.
And that might explain why I painted with such pleasure and a good measure of confidence. He sent out good vibes, which I picked up. So, even though a good bit of time had passed, I still felt involved in the painting.
Anyway, thanks for putting up with my obsession, but isn't that the way painters are supposed to be?
Thanks for listening.
Best,
William Kosman
