Always... something going on in the sky.
Here was the plane, breaking the clouds, to allow the horse to run free in the sky!
(painting is still "in-the-works.")
On the way home, a small ball of color in the sky:

Big Bug...lively world
That's what I see here... and not a friendly big bug:
My Dad turned me on to seeing things in the everyday items... he'd poke 4 toothpicks in a lemon,
2 cloves for the eyes, and use the peeler to make a curly tail, and I'd walk in to see a funny yellow pig on the counter. Nothing was ever boring. But now I can't drive down a road without seeing faces in rocks and grasping trees... and everything imaginable is in the sky/clouds. It's a lively world.

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!
