These two paintings were done back to back though I am not sure which one was made first, probably the one below. Now I realise they were done on election day in America though from the future here in Australian Sydney Time. I was feeling deeply apprehensive about Trump being re-elected and it clouded my otherwise lovely feelings for the sky. But they came quickly with a deliberate confidence unlike the cloudy uncertainty of Joe Biden's transition to power.
When I feel under the weather, I can easily forget that many, many other people feel anxiety in this time of Trump.
And these are times of great uncertainty in so many ways. I feel grateful that my small life only seems to concern itself with the uncertainty in the making of a painting because I have developed a new hope that my arrival at this task is possible. I have finally learned after all these years that the struggle is the pleasure. This cannot be said for those living under the roof of uncertainty and fear in Trump's America.
