spoke with Yas at Arta Gallery about location of my blue sky day painting being shown at the Gallery…….

…….it occurs to me that sharing location info might create specific interest in the work otherwise unavailable. …..virtually all the winter paintings express ideas I came upon found created while snowshoeing wherever I could find sunshine following an overnight snowfall. I have an entire ongoing series I call just that. ‘overnight snowfall’ . another series where I try and bring out ‘the feel of the sky as the light filters thru in the forest’ which I call ‘blue sky day’.

 

It was painted along a rolling stretch of forest on the southwest side of southwood road. There are parts to the experience that don’t necessarily make it visually into the painting but are there thru the overall feel it offers; snowshoeing alongside long rolling shadows felt a lot like being on a sailboat in the Caribbean sailing on the long long slow rolling waves
