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!

Two Mangoes

Here is a painting I began as a demonstration piece during Upstairs Studio's January First Friday opening. I enjoy doing public demonstrations because little kids come along and ask very good questions. That way the adults in the vicinity have a chance to learn something!

A note to subscribers: You may receive some old posts again. I am changing the photos on some recent posts, now that I am taking better photos with my new camera. When I change the photos, the whole post may be sent out again. I apologize for the re-send, if that happens. At least you will get to see the better images.

Arctic Spring

In 2009 I travelled north through the Alaskan arctic. This was at summer solstice. The sun was above the horizon all day, and when it was overcast, as in this painting, 4PM and 4AM looked about the same.

I didn't have the opportunity to stop for plein air work. However, I made sketches and lots of color notes, and did paintings from memory at the end of each day. This painting began as one of those.

The arctic is wonderfully green in June, with rolling plains leading off into the mountain ranges. This is the country of the great caribou herds. In this view, there is a small river, with snow still hanging on at the edges. Small wildflowers, deep green flowering shrubs, and slender grasses cover the tundra. A mysterious place.
