I was looking through my photos of our last trip to Hawaii and the trees in this one caught my eye, something about their silhouette against the overcast sky, I just had to try to paint it.
I really like how this painting turned out so I think it will be number 2 in the series for that upcoming show. It is also my favorite Santa Barbara courthouse painting that I've done :)
I'm working on some pieces that I'd like to put in a show that's coming up here in Denver. I'm preparing early so hopefully I won't chicken out. This is tentatively number one in the series, from a photo I took while I was in Prague a few years ago.
There's a light buried in a tree on the corner of our street, and for some reason when night falls (and especially when it snows) it looks so beautiful.
I used my last cradled gessobord for today's painting. I reordered weeks ago for more but they have yet to come. That means I get to go rummaging through my studio for canvases that I have forgotten about, and everything will get reorganized. Kind of like how I used leftovers of everything to make dinner tonight...it actually tasted really good. So hooray for mid Winter cleaning :)
