Upon my return it was very difficult to get my head around my new schedule. I met with my mentor Richard Raiselis, and had great talks about frescoes, Manet, psychology, materials, and so on. It was very productive, but short of re-retching the work that I brought home in rolls from Japan and making new canvases that I had planned before I left, there were many days in September that painting took a back seat to life. I had been here before, so I braved the storm and I now feel that I am through the other side. In this kind of predicament, there is no replacement for experience.
