In progress, and a recommended interview

I've had very little time lately to paint. But when I do go into the studio, it seems I am in a phase where nothing ever resolves and where I don't much like anything I'm creating. I have lots of paintings sitting around and none of them finished...so nothing to show. I thought I'd better put up an "in progress" pic here of at least one area of the studio so you can see I'm telling the truth.

If all the paintings resolved themselves at once (ha), I'd have enough posts ready for a long time to come.

I've never tried landscape painting, but one of the painters whose work I most love is Stuart Shils. His houses, urbanscapes, and especially his Irish seascapes (almost totally abstract) amaze me with their power and beauty. I just discovered this excellent online interview with him. It's about 6 pages of great reading interspersed with some of his paintings in all their glorious color.
