Two Roses


"Two Roses", 6 x 6 In, Oil on Museum Board

Between all the trips and plein air painting, packing and unpacking, driving to far away places, the heat and the cold and carrying the gear--sometimes its a relief to be out on the deck with a couple of flowers, just smusching the paint around.

With this painting and with the warm weather, when I'm in my studio that means the back deck! So nice to have my silk roses that never die!

Blue Pitcher - NFS


"Blue Pitcher", 20 x 20 In, Oil on Canvas

This is another painting from the depths of my closet. Strange it is that I've not only lost track, but I don't remember my state of mind or how I was approaching painting at that time.

White on White


"White on White", 14 x 11 In, Oil on Museum Board

I started this painting in the Alexander Zimin class a few weeks ago, but was not satisfied with it, so when I got home I "did it my way" as far as composition, taking the flowers off the edge of the panel. Its an interesting challenge to paint white on white, and that was one of the directions that Sasha seemed to be veering toward in his own work. In the class there was a white on white constraint simply in the arrangements of most of the still lifes that he carefully set up. So there was nowhere to run and nowhere to hide!

Roses in Green Vase


"Roses in Green Vase", 20 x 20 In, Oil on Canvas

I've been painting smaller works on museum board for so long that I forget that I have canvas. So the other day I was looking for canvas to paint on and I found four paintings that I had totally forgotten about.  This is one of them.  I speak a lot about memory, because it often eludes me and I can no longer live with scattered mental organization.  I have to be actually organized.

Still Life with Oranges



"Still Life with Oranges", 12 x 12 In, Oil on Museum Board
I'm always glad to get back to the still life. It is no less a challenge than a portrait, but I can more easily dismiss the battle with the mind and its seemingly incurable determination to exactly capture the proportions of every nuance of the model. You can basically do what you want with flowers and oranges and vases.

Still Life with Apples


"Still Life with Apples", 20 x 20 In, Oil on Canvas

I used to be able to organize everything in my mind. Now that that is no longer possible, I have to organize everything in fact. It means keeping track of my paintings on my computer and in my studio. After so many years and so many paintings it is not easy! This is one of those paintings that I did last fall and basically just put aside. But I know I am not going to paint on it again, so I will say its finished and get it photographed and in my computer file.

Roses with Cup


"Roses with Cup", 12 x 10 In, Oil on Museum Board

I haven't painted a still life for months. Its a good thing to do when it starts to rain in the Northwest. But this one didn't go smoothly Three days of scraping the canvas and starting over--and such a small canvas! Its so wonderful when the painting paints itself. But when it doesn't then its better to think of it as process.

Yellow and Red Flowers



"Yellow and Red Flowers", 14 x 11 In, Oil on Museum Board
This was done at the Plein Air Washington Paint-In yesterday. The last painting of the day, I worked on it for maybe 45 minutes. I wasn't trying to make it look particularly realistic, just slapping on the paint. That's really what I want to do at this point in my painting life.

Red Rose - SOLD

"Red Rose", 12 x 9 In, Oil on Canvas Board"
Do I dare post this? Any notion of perfection has gone. It is raw and not trying to be anything--abstract, realistic--neither. My neighbor told me that it is actually getting lighter now earlier in the evening, though the solstice is not until the 22nd. He also said that the morning would continue to get darker until early January.
