Today was the first day of school. Nobody cried (including me!). To celebrate, I promised myself I'd finish the painting I started, oh, four weeks ago. It's an Alaskan landscape, but I think clouds and sky are universal themes. I'm so happy to be back at the easel.
Because so many people have inquired about purchasing a piece before it is listed in the
shop, I've decided to have some of my paintings available for pre-purchase. It allows me to sell them at a discount directly to you. Once the paintings are dry and ready to ship, I will remove the button and put them in my etsy shop. Just a little sneak peak buying opportunity, so you can reserve a piece right away!

Finally finished up this one yesterday. We have remained cloudless for this winter--no rain and hardly any fog. Strangely still and dry. Fingers crossed it bodes well for a wet Spring.
Summer Rice
Finished! Woo-hooo. Happy weekend, wherever you may be.
Wacky weather makes for great clouds. Lightning, thunder, hail and 80 degree days all in one week. I am happy with the way this one is coming along. I find that the more confidently I paint, the better the outcome when it comes to skies and clouds. Loose is very very good! I should have it finished up soon. I hope you had a good weekend, wherever you are.
We had some wet, wild weather last week! Sideways rain and gusty winds that seemed to make all the trees vibrate. Now just a few days later, my tulips are up and blooming.
Happy Tuesday!
We always crave opposites, right? So while are getting enough rain to flood out all the poor earthworms, I was craving a late summer afternoon with still, hot, air and the gentle sound of dried grasses rubbing together. I thought maybe an orange underpainting would help it glow. I'm pretty happy with it!
