In Decision
I was in decision—replete with indecision—almost constantly as I painted this postcard, surprised by many choices I made, puzzled more than once by what to do next, making one decision, and another, and yet one more, not knowing when I might feel the little ping of completion, wondering if I'd miss the little ping altogether and barrel along to a place of no return.

Love blowing this up to see all the textures and details! I can feel the autumn!
Thanks, Carol. I thought of you when I used some imagistic collage instead of my usual print collage. The plastic dolls' feet seemed especially whimsical and unexpected, but they answered my color palette and compositional needs, so there they are marching across the postcard into autumn.
That said, we have a decidedly NON-autumn day at hand today. Hot. HUMID. Just sayin'.
Dotty! This entire piece highlights that pointy, DELICIOUS bottom section...all things pointing to POINTS. What is the point of this comment? That I adore this piece. There are so many juicy surprises hiding within the tininess.
Thanks for your enthusiastic point of view, Jen! There were many juicy surprises in the making, and now many juicy points to discover. Win win, if you get my point.
