Got the landscaping bug!

Finished 2 landscape paintings today (started weeks and months before), and 

had a long photo outing, (on the way to get lattice for framing) with dramatic light and sky, then, a few hours in the woods, drawing.

So immersed now!

landscapes!

Working on a couple of landscape paintings, preparing for an exhibit in December. I never considered myself a landscape painter, but it seems the Virginia countryside has a convert. Here are two photos taken this morning that may help explain my new passion (although the old passions of gardenscapes/florals and portraits are still alive & well.)

At this moment, I look out the window and see purple and pink clouds in an icy blue sky. .. off to paint!

Getting ready to rework an on site painting in oil, but hesitant because it feels finished and fresh. 

May wait until tomorrow.
