Before Christmas I had become stuck in a large forest painting. It was hard to concentrate and nothing made it spark. So I set it aside and did small things. When I had completed the first study here, I realized that forest was a lost cause but it would be great as an under painting for a large wetland at night. I turned it upside down and began. I`m happy with it`s progress.
The second study was done this afternoon when I returned from the art supply store. The national retailer Dick Blick bought our long time local supplier last Sept. but I hadn`t been in yet. Because I spent so much money at the former business I was recognized as a 'preferred' customer. They gave me a tote bag full of art gifts! Free stuff gets me excited so I had to try some of it out.

All three are lovely studies, Randall.
We have Dick Blick stores here. I'm always in awe when I go into art supply stores just to look. So much great stuff.
Amazingly beautiful.
Glad you scored at blicks.
These are so beautiful - your work is an inspiration to me.
How beautiful, especially the last one, the one with the lavender touches. The landscape is just so alive in your work!
I love the middle one.
