A quick sketch today, a little daily painting, but finally I am able to get back to it. It feels so good to be painting again. I wanted something quick and easy for my re-entry. Nothing frustrating or difficult or discouraging. It seems like it has been forever, and I've really allowed "life" to get in the way. It's been a good summer, though. Lots of family this year. But very, very good. I'm hoping to paint several more days over the next week and a half before I start back to the National Academy. Then I will have to find my way as to what i want to post on the blog. Figure painting from life is so much more of a struggle than these little paintings from photographs. . . Oh, well, we'll see. For now, a little taste of Vermont's late summer fields.

Lovely first attempt after a long break. It really captures everything it needs. Welcome back...I've missed you!
ReplyDeleteVery nice landscape. Can't believe summer is ending.
ReplyDeleteMust have been something in the air - I had dry spell as well. Nice piece to bring in the fall! You did a great job capturing the sense of space and distance.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! All of you. I missed you, too. Meg, I left you a note. I, also, can't believe summer is over. I only got half the things done that were on my list. But I'm proud that the blog was one of them. See you guys in the blogosphere!!!
