Despite My Steadfast Refusal...

...to consider anything but the completion of the big tree painting, time marches on and my show in September looms over the horizon. So besides taking a ton of photography, I have slowly begun working on the show pieces in the gaps of working on trees. Here are the first studies to be completed, and as illustrated, my show in September will deal almost exclusively with the subject of water.

The (Almost) Last of the Leaves...

...are in! I say almost because I missed at least two, and a few more might pop up, but oh well.


Filling in the details is always rewarding, especially here where the "wrap" of the leaves around the tree makes the spaces appear truly three dimensional.


Once these leaves are dry I will tackle the last of the trees.


Then, dare I may say it, I will be done!

Two Trees...

...plus a couple of branches to go! And the best part? I get to paint in the last of the leaves today, wrapping the trees in their bright bits of color and suspending them in their respective spaces. More pics to follow...

...to go!
