It's nearly the end of October…..Halloween just around the corner, and I am having an exhibit of the last 2 years work (not ALL of it) at our gallery, Lille Atelier in Bergen, opening on Friday the 4th of Nov.  Am I nervous?????  Not yet. The Posters are at the printers, the framing is at the carpenters, the paintings are not all signed and cleaned up, but that's coming this week. Basically, I'm on schedule.  The style of my paintings has changed ever so slightly over two years, and I am more able to let myself have the lee-way to go with the flow. Authenticity is hard-fought.  I don't want to paint like someone else, and letting myself have the freedom to charge ahead into totally unknown territory is frightening, but I think it's the only way to find truth. Freedom…..that's so hard.
