Just completed, April 2013 - A beautiful Spring day at the little prairie cabin...The trees have leafed out, the wildflowers are blooming, and the grasses are coming out of their winter doldrums!
I can't really tell you how other people paint, but when I do it, it's pretty much a "paint-as-I-go", unplanned thing. I've never sketched out anything ahead of time, as there is usually a quite elaborate story going on through my mind as I paint, much of which I actually leave out of my paintings so that you can imagine your own. In a sense, I suppose that most of my paintings are just a backdrop...Here is a beautiful day - for a picnic? Flying a kite? Reading your favorite book under the tree, surrounded by wildflowers? Children running about? Taking a stroll down the lane? Collecting a basketful of flowers for your vase?
