NOT EVERY LANDSCAPE NEEDS A TREE

I thought I would be working on a series of paintings of a "solitary tree", depicted in various colors and moods. I completed these two canvases and decided that one of them did not need anything but the horizon. The other, after looking at it all afternoon convinced me it would be helped by the tree.

RUNNING UP HILL

Ever so slowly...I'm getting back to work. Sometimes I find myself spending more time sitting and staring at the easel than standing in front of it and working. I did manage to complete this painting....

After my last post of FOGGY MORNINING, a revised painting, I found this photo of the original rendering.

CATCHING UP

Thinking about a series of painting depicting the same tree against a variety of colors and moods.
