Morning Light


Kim English’s workshop ended yesterday. I’m staying at the ranch for the weekend and will be staring Ken Auster’s workshop on Monday. Today, Saturday, is my chance to paint and get some good vibes going. I struggled today, but felt in control. It turned out to be a great painting day. I painted this still life of a window scene – I wanted to try to capture a bit of the light that Kim English is known for. The scene outside the window proved to be a real challenge because it didn't provide me with enough contrast between the vase on the window sill and the greenery outside. I finally lifted off the color of the outside greenery -- I'll finish this when I figure out how best to fix it. I finished the painting I started on Sunday when I arrived. (#50/75)
