Hall Ranch Sunrise


8" x 10" oil on panel.
This painting is symbolic for what is going on in my life right now. I just lost my job teaching painting and drawing at a private classical atelier. It was a very acrimonious parting of the ways, caused by the fact that the school is having serious financial difficulties and is unable to pay its faculty. I decided that rather than look for another teaching position I would focus exclusively on creating my own art and marketing it. This painting was done at sunrise on the first day of my new "job" - being free to paint full time is like a new dawn for me - who knows what the day will bring.
