Ready to Paint: “New England Summer Sun”
So it’s cold, icy, and early January. I thought of Maine in September and painted this familiar beautiful house with a wonderful shadow pattern. My goal is to capture the light and feeling of summer, nothing too complicated. As always, the holidays have taken a toll on my work production, not really the truth because I have painted about 10 oils in the last month but this is my first watercolor in a few weeks and what a wonderful medium it is. I know why I spend 35 years painting in it, it is spontaneous, transparent and friendly to those who practice and develop good skills. Get comfortable with the medium, your drawing, and subject matter and you will have a good year.
