FIRST PLEIN-AIR OIL PAINTINGS IN MANY YEARS!



October 8 - First I tried watercolor(in an effort to be more practical and eco-friendly) but didn't have the right stuff. So I exhumed my old oils and found a couple leftover canvases. I hauled it all up to the mountains where the aspens are all glowing, and the first snowfall threatens to end it all post-haste. Yesterday I managed to make 2 smallish paintings. Today I did one larger one. I'm no better than I was when I stopped painting back in 2002, but then I'm no worse. And.... its fun, and a great place to be.
