Using a different palette, at a new location, the dusk-a thon continues through the summer. There is always 20 minutes to do another small painting.
BTW There have been many questions about the texture in the last painting. Later this week I will post another from that series and give more detail about the method.

paint paintings
I am finally back in my studio after over a month of travel. One of my stops was Washington State. The fields in Washington always enchant me. I painted just studies for 10 days then moved into the studio at Dakota. This painting is an experimentation using watercolor and gesso with pastel in several layers, most importantly the last layer. I did not like it one bit when I was there...but now as I unpack the box full of paintings that i shipped back I am giving it new though. It's interesting how a little distance can change your mind.
The George Inness quote is one of my long time faves. Doesn't he just say it all?
I will post more studies and paintings as the weeks go forward.

memory painting on new surface
I tried a new surface... new for me that is. This a is memory painting done on multi-purpose board- a surface that is hard, white, slightly sanded and takes watercolor beautifully. Here's the link to buy it from Dakota.
Dakota Art is an amazing place. If you haven't been there and you paint in pastels, it's a destination to add to your list. I love my annual trip to stock up on pastels and work with Richard.
PS It feels good to get back to watercolor underpainting.
