Can you believe we are half way through January? Day 15
Where is this? It's a combination of places just to make this painting work for me. A photo, sketch book and some of my memories from plein air painting. I enjoyed the combination of brush and palette knife in this one. What do you think?
I was born and raised in Pittsburgh (home of the Steelers) and came to the Northwest in 1978. I've been fortunate to travel extensively throughout the world with my sketch book, pen and ink and watercolors. That's easiest for me going through security and customs. When at home my medium of choice is oil and pastel. I love plein air and also working in my little studio. A little jazz or classical music and a paint brush, well, it doesn't get much better.
I've taught two wonderful workshops, one in Oahu, Hawaii and the other in El Dorado National Forest. My art class at Kaewyn Gallery in Bothell, WA was a delight however a brief episode with breast cancer temporarily interfered. I'm back, good as new.
I've been accepted in Juried Shows as well as Invitationals and will continue to always strive for that next level.
What do I think? I love it! The various textures make it so interesting to look at!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kaethe, I also get inspiration watching your blog. I have been fortunate to visit many of the places you've painted in Europe.
