I was out early today - on location and painting by 7 am. The morning light was absolutely luminous. We had rain last week, so the grass hay is looking very happy. This little farm used to have a large herd of horses, but it was sold recently and is sitting empty, the lush green grass ungrazed. My horse would consider this a criminal waste of photosynthesis.
I grew up in Africa, and I am most interested in depicting African subject matter. I am a classically trained artist (translation: heavy on anatomy, perspective, and understanding value) working in encaustics, oil, watercolor, and various drawing media. I teach drawing and painting in Boulder, Colorado. I am committed to the "painting a day" habit because it is a no excuses road to "being" a painter. Painting all day all the time is now my lifestyle.
