On my easel this week, Dawn Chorus. I am grateful for all those summer mornings in the mountains waking up to the symphonic sounds of the dawn chorus. It's one of the things I miss most about living there. #Gratitude #BlueSkyArtShow #painting #abstractlandscape #ncartist

I enjoy adding layers to my paintings where bits of the previous layer peek out from #underneath. This is Coastal Fog, and here on the coast the fog does seem to drift right over the landscape. Available here www.annthompsonfineart.com/workszoom/50...

In art, #lines can express a many ideas while leading the eye through the work. Lines can suggest shape, texture, tone, calligraphy. I like to use lines for their mystery. This is Talking To Myself, available here

#Drawing vs #PaintingOnPaper: I’ve come down on the side of “if it’s on paper, it’s drawing.” It’s always the least pure & most immediate thing I do in the studio.
