Sunlight n' Sage


Sunlight n' Sage

An intensely bright day today, the dry season has set in but the colors and brilliance of spring is still apparent.

This was the second painting I did, the first one I scraped off in dismay.
This one started out as a study of this brightly lite bush and the painting began to develop around it.

Sometimes painting just has it's own momentum, especially when painting from life in the outdoors while the wind is blowing, light is moving, and the heat begins to wear you down. So much is happening so much input. It is really amazing to get a painting down at all.

Can I just say what a relief to uncover somebody that genuinely knows what they're discussing on the internet. You certainly know how to bring a problem to light and make it important. A lot more people should check this out and understand this side of your story. It's
surprising you aren't more popular given that you surely have the gift.
