Tree Obsession
Absolutely love this time of year. The bare trees with little bits of leftover color and glimpses of sunlight sneaking through are amazingly poetic.

Russian Inspiration
After visiting the Russian art gallery in Scottsdale, I couldn't wait to come home and paint still lives. The Russian artists I saw incorporated lots of texture and pattern and I hoped to do the same in the paintings below.

Light in the Forest
I'm taking full advantage of this beautiful fall weather and the crisp clear light. Below was painted yesterday on the Fellsway in Stoneham.

Where There's a Will, There's a Way
Painting plein air in Scottsdale Arizona with no easel? No problem. I taped a small picture easel and cardboard to a tree and used the intersecting space of the trees to hold my brush cleaner.

The End Result
Last week I posted the beginning stage of this painting. My goal was to keep a sketch-like feel to the finished piece.

On the Easel
Thought it was about time I started posting paintings again. Currently I'm painting on clear gessoed linen and loving the results. By keeping much of the linen exposed, the painting feels more like a sketch. The linen uniforms the painting and keeps me from overworking. Sometimes less is more.

MEDIA MAVENS Challenge "Light"
This month's challenge was all about capturing the light. Whether the painting was representational or abstract we all found what an important role light plays in our work.
