Not much to report this time as I’ve been under the weather. The small landscape is part of a Rockies-based series. I own a small property in Colorado but I don’t get out there often. If I moved away from the water, I would head for the mountains. The painting in the upper-right was finished

This is the first update for the study about making the painting titled The Call. In the first post, the drawing was finalized and a neutral ground applied to the canvas. The Call is 36″ x 48″.

Poor light yesterday, Saturday, but good light today. The lake came alive this week and although it’s cold–mid-30’s–the waves and whitecaps already  remind me of summer.

Another lifelong habit I have is working on several–sometimes very many–painting simultaneously. I will put a painting aside to be taken up later any number of times.
