TREE LOVER

6x9, oil, $90.00
Revisiting old paintings is lots of fun.  I drove by this tree today in Peters Canyon and was reminded just how much I loved painting it in all seasons.  I went home and pulled up some photos and went to work.  I choose a photo from mid summer (thinking warm) from a few years ago.  I am in the process of figuring out which landscape 6x9 will be good to paint in a larger format of 24x36, I am not fussing as much and just getting it down.
I am also feeling a bit more confident with the process of developing ideas.  Gee wiz I love painting.

It is very warm and inviting. Very nice technique on the trunk of the tree. I love painting, too! I spent an hour at the easel yesterday, and sort of woke up and wondered where the time went.

When you love what you do, the passion conveys itself in the work - this is beautiful!
