Every step in the road is influenced by the previous one.

This painting is from photographic reference

taken two years ago.

Most of the art work in this series will be from that spring, 

I'm also working on some paintings from new photos and doing some plein air.

 

Here we are the first morning of Spring for this year.

Nice and grey so far, sure the sun will be out soon.

Primed some new boards yesterday, plan to start a couple of new paintings.

Got the vegetables in yesterday, tomatoes, eggplant and brussel sprouts 

for now. The chard and lettuce from last year are up and tasty.

Just finished lunch, pickled beets with german sausage, yum.

Have a lot of chores to do before getting to my easel, putting in some veges.

Thought I'd post the first in this series of landscape paintings.

Here it is Sunday am, rained very hard last night, thunder woke me up just to hear the show.

Have had some time to paint last week, starting to feel better the more I paint.

I'm unraveling the blocks that have developed over the years as a commercial artist. 

Hi, this is my first evening writing at my new blog. Very cool feeling, as it is one of many actions finally taking place.

I have been an artist for most of my life, it's been in the last decade or so that I really focused on art for hire, as part of a process.

I'm going to work on a couple of landscape paintings I've been working on just the last few weeks, I'll publish this now and be back after awhile.
