Safe Zone (framed)
This painting is the result of extreme persistence. It was sitting with other unfinished paintings and I would pull it out and look at it and then put it down. I did this for months, maybe even over a year or more. One day I decided to take a look again but I went out there with the attitude that I was not going to put it down this time. I took a big marker with me and just started drawing random shapes and that completely changed the direction of the painting and this is the result.
