"An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day." -- Henry David Thoreau
I am happy to report the gallery show I was in last week was a huge success and packed all evening. And, my "Trio in Triptych sold very quickly. It was such a fun night. "Sun, sun, sun here it comes." Today's painting was taken from a photo snapped by my 5:00 a.m. lap swimming buddy, Angela, along a sunlit path on one of her early morning hikes around Santa Fe. She so generously allows me the honor to interpret her work with my oil paints. The sun was such a powerful player in the photo; I decided to try a new approach with thick paint applied with a palette knife. This was my first attempt to paint with one, and I have to admit it felt very awkward and clumsy. However on a positive note it facilitated a more abstract piece, and helped to add more emphasis in the sky and sun. I had a lot of fun with it. It's hard for me to imagine missing a sunrise... the very best part of the day! Thank you Angela and cheers o all lovers of the early-morning light.
