Edge

Heading into the forest....I was surprised that the sky turned warm so early in the afternoon.

Forest Path

I have avoided walking towards the forest recently, but went that way yesterday. The paths seemed always varied....I'd stop every few minutes and look both in front and behind me....there was a lot of variety in the elevations, and more structure than you might think.

Machine Shed in Sunlight

Little Stand, Early January

...the painting from yesterday. These little stands of trees, saved by farmers for whatever reason, always catch my attention.

In these recent collages...there is a conscious interest in keeping the final acrylic brush work to a minimum.

Night, Lost Dog Hill.....January 1

....the first painting of 2012.....Lost Dog Hill....just as evening turns into night.
