Look Up
Why should we look up? Oh I can’t wait to share. But, before reading on, if you want more information about me, check here.
And, if you are seeking weekly, colorful paintings in your inbox (yay!), sign up here. On to this week’s painting.
Why Look Up
If you are lucky enough to live near trees, as we are, there are always sights to see. Looking up at this pine tree near our house invites a chance to see the sun on the tree trunk and tips of this pine. As I painted this I also saw jet streams and clouds go by. These fleeting moments make me so grateful for this painterly life I lead.
Here’s this week’s painting which is really a quick, color sketch of several painting ideas I have percolating in my head. Stay tuned!
