break through

I have been thinking a great deal about these landscapes and where in time they exist. The reason for my inability to decide may be that I was thinking of them as a bundle. When in fact, they have had very separate lives and the way each one comes to conclusion has nothing to do with any of the other paintings. My reason for wanting to know in the first place is to find a way to extend the imagery. To make sure I don't paint the same painting over, and over. However, with the understanding that some images are meant to be of potential future landscapes and others are in the present, and (most recently) in the past, I can push the boundaries of what each landscape might look like. Understanding this, I have the ability to make paintings that encompass all of my ideas, and still look different form one another.
