Hangin'

A photo of a house a few blocks down the street. Christmas.

Yes I know I haven't posted for awhile, in spite of my declaration to not let things get in my way. I am painting, but have been putting the majority of my painting time into a 9 x 12 panel, an autumn landscape. I'm working from the computer monitor, using a photo I took on the way down to North Carolina a month or so ago. It is "almost done", and when it is really done I will post it.

I have not abandoned my "daily painting" regimen but have been unable to keep it going lately. I have done several that didn't come out and I scraped them off.

I AM going to update my website (not this blog) this spring! Too much to learn.

Poinsettia Leaf

Things have been conspiring against me of late to impinge on my painting time. This displeases me! I intend to push back, to allow for much painting this winter.

Here's a study of a backlit poinsettia leaf in the process of turning from green to red. I love the rich colors you can get by illuminating the leaf from behind. I would like to do more of this kind of thing.
