Artist. Lots of abstracted plein air landscapes in oil paint. Lots of ink and pencil morning sketches. Just trying to be kind and wise.
I'm cold and my nose is running. Gathering future painting details like a squirrel gathers nuts. Morning sketches at Bullfrog Valley Park...

Morning sketches... It's been awhile since I posted drawings. Got caught up in deep cleaning the attic last month and the basement this month.
I feel so accomplished and smug.

Sketching by a creek to work out possibilities for an upcoming painting. The artist's life is a good one. Best part? Listening to the water whisper as it goes by me.

When it's time to Plant Seeds, 20 x 20", oil. I painted this earlier this season on location although I added the starlings in the studio.
I went out today but it ended up being a "let's not waste any more paint on this" sort of effort and scraped it off. It happens.

When You Come to the Edge, 12 x 12", oil with cold wax on cradled wood panel (with bear). The weather has been perfect this week for painting outside. I didn't really see a bear but I was in some pine woods.

Just a few days left for my exhibition with Louise Thomas at the Carlisle Arts Learning Center in Carlisle, PA. Who knew that an exhibition of black and white photographs and brightly colored abstracted oil paintings would work so well together?
