A few last thoughts...
It is interesting painting here being immersed in my surroundings, I have seen the moon go through it's cycle twice while I have been back here painting since October. Now a storm threatening the Northern Plains will probably deposit some snow here. It has turned sharply colder and this may put an end to my working. I remember a quote by I think Hemingway who said to "always stop when one knows what one is doing as it makes it easy to pick up again."
I thought I was done but now see a few things to do.
Repainted the B/W parts grey and get a nice spacial thing, maybe softens the graphic quality a bit.

Groups...versions of Pastoral, December
I'm interested in how the parts now are re-presented in various juxtapositions, which then offer differing feelings, meanings, ideas in unfolding time. These moments are presented in other moments framed in the beginning, long ago now.
This idea is kept present in it's different stage or genre. The idea of an unchanging present hovers but changes as the paintings are re-seen once again and again. The continuing life of a moment seen, and thought.
Maybe the literal 'Bathers' are a metaphor of this, figure or idea. I suppose I present them here as an Ideal. Every thought has a height and a cycle that revolves much as the central idea, the Earth revolves. The idea being each day, each moment or thought-- that dies and is reborn to something else. Another painting, another idea.
