March light

Crazy March weather in NH means a snow storm one day and fifty degrees the next. I plan to be out in the sun this afternoon with a larger group of plein-air friends. The conversation in life drawing added to our group.
I did another painting from the drawings I made but this time I decided to start with the body in green. I wasn't sure where I was going with that start until I was at a Lucinda Williams concert the other night. The vision coalesced and I now see I did not photograph the result but will add it later today. It started with the drawing in the last blog.
I finished a small painting I did from a cross country ski tour I love to make through White Farm area in Concord. Coming back, the view is across a field to a few trees. One afternoon. the late light hit the snow to create a lavender light.
I finished another small painting based on the drawings from a model. I thought her pose suggested vulnerability so I emphasized it with the color of her body. I think the painting stands on its own and uses a pose to create a poem.
