When I look at the last few paintings I've done, I see more confidence in value, color, and brushstroke. I think that's because I've started them as though I wasn't going to do anything with them (i.e. post or attempt to sell). Lesson?  Stop thinking and paint.

These daffodils were a little unhappy after being pummeled by rain and then picked...I painted this waaaay back in the spring. The last painting from the old house.

I took one day off from moving/unpacking this summer to paint outside.  My easel broke after carrying it 1/4 mile down the Billygoat Trail on the Potomac River, and I nearly gave up. This one makes me happy, though.

This was a super-quick painting - the first painting completed in my new paint studio! Boxes everywhere...I like it, but my camera did not accurately portray the colors.
