Here and There

I'm not sure if I mentioned it, but I get really busy with the floral business this time of year, so the painting ( and the blog) suffer a bit. The weather has also been suffering lately. Here are two quick impressions of of late afternoon sunlight. I've been giving some serious thought on continuing my work with landscape. Such as putting more of my effort into plein air for at least one year. I'm also thinking about birds, figures and architecture within the landscape format. And for the still lifes? I won't abandon them completely, just adding more to the mix. I surely didn't realize three years ago just how limited my abilities were. I'm glad I know that now. I think for the new year the emphasis will be on learning how to better handle paint and how to better compose a picture!
