Day 22- Heading North

9/22/2015

0 Comments

 

Today I am heading north to paint. Usually, I try to avoid the autumn traffic- something that is tough to do during September and October in Vermont, given the caravans of leaf-peepers. Enormous tour buses lumber throughout the northern New England states this time of year,  but I have to admit that I don't blame the tourists. It is beautiful.

Some background:
I had a moment of panic, about 6 weeks ago when I considered how I would fill my days as a painter. Would I be able to stay disciplined? Focused? Productive? So I signed up for a workshop to paint plein air ( outside) led by a painter whose own work I greatly admire. I hadn't counted on being so busy. But off I go, to immerse in what someone else has already mastered. In Vermont.

It's a good thing for a studio painter to get outside. I've checked the forecast and it looks like the air will be crisp and the sun shining. With any luck at all, there will be maple syrup and bacon in my immediate future. Fuel for painting, you know.
I'll post as I go, and would love any/all feedback.

Here's my palette knife exercise, done in Woods Hole.
