7/15/10 "Lake Kachess", 9" x 7", Oil
I'm up painting at the Cle Elum "Fresh Air Paint-out". This is one of my all-time favorite places since childhood--alpine lakes, mountain air, sage brush country, small western towns including Roslyn, where Northern Exposure was filmed. Last week at the workshop, I felt I literally forgot how to paint. I felt paralyzed and incompetent. This painting was sort of the last of that struggle, but since I'm entering the ones that came after that--the ones where a couple of things began to sink into my brain--into the competition, I'm waiting to post those.
Raymond Logan has been kind enough to include a wonderful review of my blog on his Daily Painter Review. I feel honored that he selected my blog for review and I hope you will all go and sign up at Daily Painter Review. It is always so interesting to get a perspective on your work from the outside. And by the way, Raymond is not only a good writer, but he is also a fantastic painter, so check out his website http://www.raymondlogan.blogspot.com/
Congratulations on the great interview!
