I am back after a week of vacation on the mountains of British Columbia. I picked up an unfinished drawing from the fall and gave it another go. It was a beautiful morning out in the park and the accumulated rust from a week of idleness was not too heavy. Sadly it looks like we’re in for a week of windy and/or wet weather. Studio time…

Precepice, Winter Afternoon
A small, relatively quick one. Dimensions to follow… and perhaps an image shot in some better light.
Edit: a newly updated shot, but I am still lacking a decent photo. Perhaps soon.
This was done both out on site in the park and finished up in the studio. The site is one of my perennial winter favorites although the light on the south wall of the Precipice changes with somewhat alarming rapidity.

Just starting in– Sand Beach, Work in Progress, 24 x 36
I spent a few hours today laying in the composition for this piece. 24 x 36 is a big piece for me but I’m finding the scale to be liberating. Small paintings require delicacy and restraint. If you pull it off with elan, it’s cool. However, the result is sadly, a very small but refined image. Yeah, going bigger…
