Since spring has been slow in coming, I have been delving into some of my images from past seasons to work from. The winter images are from the past few months around Ulster County.I just couldn't do snow anymore! I have been focussing on dramatic skies and the challenge of capturing cloud patterns and movement on canvas. As in my rock and water images from last year, I am again seeing the paradox in this imagery - it appears solid and yet is really air and water. I remember the experience of flying through the clouds while on a plane - and then being above them where it looks as though you could walk on their surface!
The third painting above, is a small triptych on 5" x 5"panels of the view from Old Kings Highway in Accord in winter. The painting above it is of the same location in May. I love the way the fields are broken up with hedgerows and windbreaks, making interesting shapes and patterns to work with. This painting is 20" x 26".
I have more in the studio, so come and have a look this April 2, from 3-6.
