One landscape has become two

Last year I went to Denali National Park and made a 16 x 40 painting of the view at Polychrome Pass. I had to put it on 2 panels in order to carry the wet painting-in-progress on the park bus. When I got home I framed them in one frame, but try as I might, I could not make the seam unobtrusive.

I finally took the panels out of the frame, cropped one, and now I have two paintings of the view at Polychrome Overlook. I think it worked out fine in the end. 

This year I will try to return to the same spot to do 2 more paintings. What I have done so far is only a small slice of a great view.

Tumbler of Water

Here is a little painting I thought would be simple, but it took a long time. Water in a clear tumbler on a white napkin. It started as a demonstration piece in a class, then migrated to a First Friday demonstration, then came home to the studio where I could control the light. I'm finally happy with it!

Orange on Linen Napkin

I have been offering "Work Alongside" sessions at Upstairs Studio. It's a way for me to offer some instruction while also working on my own painting. I did this little painting last Saturday, as I worked alongside a student. We had a great day and both felt good about our results.

Good news about the reposts of better photos, it did not generate repeat emails to subscribers. However, if you want to see the improvements, you can do so here and here. Thanks for putting up with my fussing!
