The Dance

Friday January 24th, I take the remembered energy, from the cold painting frenzy of the prior day's experience, indoors. I am in the warmth of the artists' studio in front of a still life, but still in an obsessive search to create repeated irregular patten that moves through the picture plane creating rhythm.

"Resonance" 11" x 14" oil on panel

Ready, Set...Go!

 

"Mt. Hood" oil on linen

Thursday January 23rd, not ready, not set, but we went painting after our Alla Prima breakfast meeting. The sun has been out, but it is cold if you are not prepared. 1 lonely mitten, a t-shirt and North Face fleece did not quite cut it. But what a rush, out on the highway staring down Mt. Hood painting with Za Vue. Paint fast and furious!
