tiny art time!!

I just dropped off some small acrylic paintings on paper to Nahcotta for ETA 9! The tiny art shows are a great opportunity to try something new or develop an entire series on a single backboard in the studio! Working a number of pieces at once is a favorite way of working for me. Each informs the other. As I have been spending a lot of time looking at the winter sky, I chose a soft, muted palette for this series.

As always, I am excited to see the work of other participating artists. This show is always so diverse. I love that!

sentinels of winter

Every year once the leaves have fallen, I find myself watching the bare trees and the light surrounding them. They are sentinels standing against a silver sky. The motion as I walk or watch from a vehicle constantly shifts their relational positioning and flickers of light bounce off the bark. I am beginning to explore this fascination in my work.
