Late Winter painting

3/17/2012

Over the past month, I completed "Snowfall Among the Spruces" and "Wave Break on a Clear Morning". Both of these paintings have been added to the New Pieces page. Most recently, I completed a large, 24x48 study of foam patterns within a rising wave, as shown in the photo. I haven’t decided on a title for this piece yet. This week, I plan to complete a 12x36 exploration of a series of breaking waves. In the midst of this work, I’ve been slowly working through a summer stream painting, 24x36. I’ve been hopeful of completing this soon, but the fine detail is extensive and time consuming. I find the intricacies of such a scene to be most inspiring. In my mind, leaving out the detail would leave the scene devoid of its wonder.

Without snow on the ground, I feel driven to paint snow to make up for it. I may start a snow-scene this week. However, the warming weather has found me pondering forest streams and the rocky coastline of New England.
