October Hike

Spring Mill State Park 

oil on panel 

6x6 inch 

I painted this a while back and was not happy with it, so it sat on a shelf for a long time.  Last week I started to paint over it and decided to see if I could make improvements instead.  After using warmer tones, I was so much happier with this one.  I am glad I didn't paint over this one.

A few weeks ago my husband and I were hiking at a nearby nature preserve.  The weather was unusually warm for November.  It was so peaceful I hope to paint there again soon.

Soft Light

6x6"

The glow of the early evening sun filtering through the trees at one of my favorite places.  I am considering going back into this painting with just a few thick and juicy strokes.  I will keep it in view so I can ponder that thought.  My favorite thing in this painting is the thin ray of light outlining the one side of tree in the middleground.

When painting a landscape it is easy to be overwhelmed by all the details.  Sometimes I have to write a simple message on a post it note and stick it right on my easel:  "Simplify" or "KISS" (keep it simple sister!)
