With these nippy mornings, the two girls like to doze in the early morning sun, catching all the warm rays they can. This raking light is pretty dramatic and fun to paint.
This is one of Jack's latest hand carved pieces. He has been invited to show in the My Maryland show at the North End Gallery in February. This is one of his nicest handles and he really likes the way the bowl came out.
Did a little studio cleaning and found a handful of small frames, really small, like 2x2" to 4x6". Which suggested doing some little paintings, not a bad idea as I have a one evening exhibition coming up in a few weeks. Some small pieces with small prices might be a good thing to try. These are a couple 2x2's and were fun to do and with several landscapes makes for a nice collection.
The Studio at Line's End Farm is where I paint and try to find some joy again, and some equilibrium, not simple these days. One weblog records thoughts, ideas, methods and mixtures, palettes, observations, actually anything that intrigues me concerning my painting and working in the studio. Another observes only the horse in paintings that I find influential. The last are done for my sanity. All are my opinion only, open to other suggestions.
