After such muted colors lately, and the fact that we have a day that shouts "SPRING!!!", this seemed like an appropriate subject--at least a reflection of my mood!
I was looking at H. Malott's blog the other day--I've admired her work, among others, for a long time. Her paintings from Italy inspired me to try this and to keep it loose. She's so good at letting the brushstroke suggest what's happening rather than having to "get all the details just right". I find that it's almost harder for me to let it be than to have to define everything. This might not seem all that loose, but if you could see the painting of the same subject I did 6 months ago, you'd see a huge difference! I like this much better. . .
I found Jeffrey Boron's work from his comments on mine and really enjoy it! His landscapes glow with the way he uses color. They remind me of the Canadian artist, Tommy Thompson. Jeffrey is as good at depicting the clear cold light-filled air as Thompson was. His paintings make me feel that atmosphere. I hope you will click on his name and visit his website!
I think I was about six when I received a paint-by-number set for Christmas--complete with the old enamel oils and stinky turp! I was hooked and have been painting and drawing ever since. Over the past 30-odd years of being a professional artist, I have primarily worked in relief printmaking, drawing and oil painting with an emphasis on landscape and figurative work.
