Sketching Spring

Well, technically it's not spring yet here in the Northeast, but it's been brilliant like spring so I'm going with it. The sap buckets are out and the light was just right as I drove by the other day, so I snapped some photos. I want to practice more on my trees, so this seemed like the right subject.  I think I'll do a larger painting of this on clayboard.

Have a great day!

Mini sketches

I did some mini sketching today . . . working from photos I took late last summer while traveling around Cape Cod.  It was a beautiful day and I got some nice pictures.  These minis help me to work out some kinks and practice.  Painting is a challenge.  :)  Have a great evening.

Experimental Sketching

I haven't had new paintings up for sale recently because of other projects.  I've been experimenting more with landscapes and washes.  I finally decided that the sketch on the left was finished.  

I also completed a little painting as a surprise for someone, but I can't post it yet.  :)  And I've been busy working on a new little project that has to do with "wearable art."  I'm very excited!  I'm getting ready for my Open House in October and I wanted to have some new merchandise . . . I can't wait to show you.  

Until next time -- ciao!
