This is the first oil painting I've done since my husband had retired and since we've been back from Asheville, NC. I usually try and determine if my composing has anything to do with what is going on with my personal life. Here I see there are two groups of two. It's the first time I've set objects up with a definite path or space separating items. Could this be my husband and myself before and after (his retirement)?? Also, the two items in the background are opposites; one black one white while the two objects in the foreground are twins. To give you a little background about my husband's retirement: he wants to pursue his passion of photography. So now we are both "doing our thing"!!! Hope I haven't overanalyzed this!Just a reminder about my workshop in Naples, Florida in a couple of weeks. It's 4 days and starts on May 11th. Please check my website or send me an email for more info.

Oh my gosh I can't believe I found your site. I have your book and I love it.
Joyce, I love your analysis. I wish I could get people to look at photographs that way. Not hearing much out of Paul since the retirement and am hoping that is a good thing. I still love your work and appreciate you posting it for all of us admirers to enjoy.
Gary and Sharlette,
Thanks for taking the time to write!
Gary- Paul is doing fine with retirement (I think)!!
