Though I have not posted anything for a while, I have not been idle. Spring has finally opened the doors and it is great to be in the late afternoon sun painting. I have done a bit of traveling so I have some paintings from NY. I found it a task to account for the light change. The landscape was different as well. The buildings are big and dominate the landscape. The light was more diffuse, I think so was challenging for me to capture.
I was in the mountains and had a chance to stay by the side of the road for a while. The pleasure was interpreting a dream I had with the giants in front of me.
Another image was based on a drawing from the Saturday Morning life drawing group. I was struck by the model's fierceness and interpreted it as a warrior.
This image was with me for quite a while.
The colors are quick to change now. It was challenging to use so many bright greens and so many pale colors. I am still having trouble taking good photos, so so appear distorted. I think you can get the
sense of the painting though.
Linda, I just looked at your Spring paintings. Even with the little snapshot pics I can see the difference in the light. You have done a great job capturing the subtle delicate nature of the afternoon light. I absolutely love the trees at the top, they seem to be embracing. Wonderful!
