An artist need never be bored. All it takes is a surface to work on and something with which to make marks. The blank paper or canvas beckons. I define Art as the metaphors with which we share our unique experience of life. Thespianage suggests to me the drama played out in the world around us in every moment, and the act of standing apart and recording what we see and feel in a way that paradoxically connects us to others.

It's a self-portrait, intended as a study for the central figure in a larger painting.
Thanks, Jean, I appreciate that a lot! However, I've plunged ahead with the painting and it's turning out better than my wildest expectations. I have lots to tell you about the transformation. It's been an amazing kismet-filled experience. I'm eager to hear more about your experiences in academia.

Oh I love it John! Forget the larger painting. You've said it all [and more] right here. Wonderful!
