Painting for just me for the first time in months. It was so special to sit in silence with the sunflowers and the bees

A watercolor study I did of Mont Saint Michel in the style of JMW Turner. I used only French Ultramarine, Raw Sienna, and Burnt Umber

Quick #watercolorsketch of some imaginary trees. Letting go and just painting is hard but it’s becoming easier the more I do it.

Oil paint on watercolor paper is an interesting combo. I didn’t gesso it first so that made it kinda weird. Scratching the trunks of the trees in was a cool surprise.

A fun study in light and contrast. I’m still not a fan of acrylic paint but it’s great for stuff like this.

I had a break from painting but recently got back to it. Here’s a couple of recent #pleinair pieces I’ve finished. Feels good to be back and I’m happy to be diving deeper into oil and watercolors.

Some #abstract #landscape stuff in oils. Not a lot of time for art right now, too much work going on so this one went together kinda quick.
