Northern Michigan, oil on gessobord, 6x8 inches
With the 30 day challenge over, I gave myself one day off to rest
(!!). When I resumed Sunday morning, I literally asked myself what I wanted to paint and the answer was "more Michigan". Even though I normally like the cold, I do believe each of these lake paintings is giving me more sanity to handle the cold, and handle my extremely cold studio (have I mentioned my cold studio :-))
I am learning more about painting light. When I returned to painting back in April/May, I worked on technique and color, which was more difficult for me than I remembered. The muscles were hibernating. Now, I am trying to continue improving in these areas and expand my ability and focus on light. Light has such an enormous impact on the viewer. It will always strike a cord or set a mood whether you are viewing work close up or from across the room.
