"The Tired Performer" is, in a way, a self portrait. Sometimes the creative process feels like a never ending performance. It takes you on a internal journey of discovery that never seems to resolve. Layer after layer lost and never to be seen. I got to the point with this painting where I could no longer see which direction it was going in and as I flipped the canvas over to start the next layer, I said to myself, “I’m just so tired”. I looked at the painting, now upside down, and realized there was a face staring back at me, one that represented how I felt and suddenly, “The Tired Performer” was finished.
