Therapy Paintings

 

Having few opportunities to buckle down in the studio these days
I’ve had some fun doing some quick simplified beach scenes.
(It’s summer time!)

I find the act of breaking every thing down into
simple shapes of flat color is very therapeutic.
Almost like a doing a “coloring book.”
I’m guessing we all need a little of that right now.
No?

NOTE:
I’m getting ready to (hopefully) teach again in the fall,
and it’s been fun to re-visit my lesson plans.
As always, I realize that “getting back to basics”
is both comforting and re-energizing
for all of us.
