Abstract Landscape Painter.  Rural Dweller.  Lover of Modernist Art and Design.

23 January

Despite the increased tiredness caused by the virus/meds combo, I manage to put in almost a full day’s painting.  The concentration very effectively reduces the pain and itch of the ever-increasing number of blisters around my waist.

I work mainly with a blue/mauve palette, include some warm greens and highlight with touches of orange and pink.  I am still thinking about the small garden birds and am very aware of their increasing activity and song around me as I walk - especially at twilight.  The recent shadows on snow are in my head and so I paint the little ones busily taking their last meal of the day, as the winter sun sets behind distant shrubs and trees, and just before they go to roost.
