Studio Update Jan. 15th, 2010

I have been working on my South Window in the Snow painting this week. I think it is very close to being complete. I am always surprised as I paint by the little things I learn and re-learn about color or value relationships or the sense of rhythm I see and feel as I activate a landscape. It is almost as if I forget half of what I think I know about painting between each painting. With that said I will tell you that I plan on painting the Double Arch in snow for my next project. Double Arch is only about a half a mile walk from the South Window so they have virtually the same geology (although the Entrada sandstone is a little lumpier at the base of Double Arch). Because I visited both arches on the same day at about the same time I hope what I have learned in the South Window painting will still be in my brain as I start the Double Arch painting. Scroll down and watch my Corona Arch time-lapse video (if you have not seen it yet). I have had a bunch of good feedback about how cool the video is, now I need someone to feel that way about the painting. If that person is you e-mail about how it or one like it can be yours. Check out my Ebay store and see what plein air or small studio studies I have for sale or auction this week. Thanks for visiting. Check back soon to see the finished paintings.
