| Millers Pond, 8x10 study from last January |
 |
| 8x10 oil, still life study of eggs Looking through my photos from last year , when we had snow , came across my study of Miller Pond . After seeing so many artist that I admire , doing larger paintings from their smaller plein air or smaller studio studies has inspired to me to go larger. Haven't decided on the composition, but do know there are so many smaller works that are possibilities. The still life with eggs is a something I set up this week. Still needs tweaking, just will let it sit for awhile. My thoughts are on larger paintings. Mike and I are going to visit my daughter , so I will probably post when we return. Happy Painting everyone. |
Hi there Joan!... Both the oldd and the new share common characteristics of warmth and strong composition.

DeleteHi Joan.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all Ditto to what Hilda says my friend. There isn`t a lot to say more here Joan, except they are brilliant and again Dutch masters comes to mind. They truly are wonderful paintings Joan. I hope also you enjoyed your trip seeing your Daighter. All the best my friend, and again, keep them coming.
