Yet another revisitation of an old painting. I loved bringing out the highlights, showing that warm wonderful Italian sun. This was from a show I did with Lavinia Wiggins called “Postcards,” about places we’ve been or wanted to have been. I still would like to go to Venice!

We were riding our bikes in absolutely picturesque rural England. 

The view was often so perfect, it looked make believe! Thanks to my brother in law Rick,

 we were up and out by 8 - I rarely swing that on my own.

This is a study - a larger version is in the future.

So, another small painting. I struggled with the foreground, scraping it out three times!

In desperation I borrowed a gorgeous field from another gorgeous painting, this by Roy Connelly.

I learned so much in this process. Not totally original, but I had a blast!

Isn’t sunlight on stone beautiful? These little passageways seem like sculpture to me.

I have gone over this several times. It needed it, and it is finally done! There is just something Alive about those tall trees you see in southern France. They are majestic and dominate the skyline.

This was one of my preliminary studies for the Garrison Paintout last month, which I decided to finish yesterday. By now all the trees are in full leaf, but the underpainting was done back in mid-May. I had fun with the beautiful grassy field in front and the gorgeous barn.

I painted this last week to prepare for the Garrison Art Center Paint Out.

On Saturday May 12 we arrived early, had coffee and got our canvases stamped.

Then it was paint paint, shiver shiver, and try to get our framed piece in by 2. 

I made it by 2:30. They were gracious.

Here are some pictures:

Yes, it rained!

Final piece.

This from a photo I took on a painting workshop with Andrew Lattimore.

As I've said before, there is something about a house with water behind it that

 just seems a little mystical, whether it's the Atlantic Ocean or the Hudson River.

This is my experiment with texture and Diebenkorn ( Thiebaud?) colors.

Yes, I wish I was in California, although I have to say in the sixties, mid February, New York isn't bad. I went for a walk during my lunch hour.

This guy seems so stern, but there seems to be a tiny bit of insecurity behind that gaze.
