Week 33 – Oct 15-22 – 3 flowers

Fall is upon us and winter is not too far behind.

This past week, I begun the dreaded task of cleaning up the yard for the season. In doing so, I was reminded of how, the now old dried up sticks and stems once held gorgeous blooms.

Painting these flowers is my way of dragging out the good weather as long as possible.

Week 32 - Oct 1-8 - One view, 3 ways

I kept with the fall theme this week as it is all around and fantastic.

I am also working on some new larger pieces and needed to do a bit of experimenting for that so I took 1 view and worked it up in 3 different ways. 

I think I got what I needed for the larger works but it will be a while before they are unveiled and the choice of direction taken here is revealed.

Week 31 – Sept 24-30 – Fall is here

I didn’t get a lot of work done this week, but I did get out and enjoy the great colour around us. 

Fall colour is finicky this year, not even started in some places and full blown colour in others.

I did get a couple of quick works done however. 

The colours are a bit primary but that is what they feel like when you are outside on a glorious, crisp sunny day.
