Fun in February

 

After teaching an on-line class in January,
this month I’m taking an on-lline class with Tracy Everly
and it’s great fun.
“Buildings in the Landscape”
through the Winslow Art Center

This is an old favorite subject and Tracy’s work
inspires me to try new apporaches.

I was happy that we began with limited value studies;
to me, one of the most important ways to “plan” a painting.
She reminded us how the act of sketching can
be very calming and meditative;
a great way to relieve the anxiety of beginning a painting.

It’s too cold and dreary in my world to work from life outdoors,
so I used this archived image from a trip to Vermont!

Stay tuned.
I think this is going to be fun!
