Something exciting

The exciting story is what we do, of course, with art. Going out to paint yesterday with Jack, I learn that for him it's not just the act of painting, but being in the car, headed to "the beauty spot" with a fresh canvas, that's exciting.

And for me, what's exciting is the mad application of paint to a canvas, trying to capture some part of what I see — on this mild Christmas eve day —  into something coherent, a composition, that will communicate some part of what I see/feel, minus the mud and the exhaustion.
