Art Explorations, May 2012

5/16/2012

 
Recently, I completed the painting "Morning Calm" 24x30,  and have added it to the "New Pieces" page. I currently have five paintings underway as I look toward summer weather and have been busy planning new ones. On a trip to Avalon, New Jersey this past spring, I was impressed by a wide range of unusual lighting conditions. These views have already inspired plans for new seascape paintings that I plan to work on in May and June.

I enjoyed a 3-day backpacking trip among the streams and falls of the Allegheny Mts this past month. The region has driven me to contemplate a series of small studies (8x12s and 8x16s) focusing on the water dynamics in forest streams. I’m also re-visiting a couple plans for large paintings of woodland f alls and streams. The increasing emerald greens in the eastern forests are drawing me to explore. I’m looking forward to a number of hiking and backpacking trips for June. I always return from such trips full of ideas and energized to paint.
