Size: 8x11 in
From my painting log... I’ve been texting in-progress images of my daily paintings to a couple friends. My musical composer friend Rick texted me today a bit concerned that he hadn’t seen a new painting for three days. So I revved up my painting engines and began yet another image of the little red shed—this time with brilliant sunlight behind it and flowering quince in the near foreground. I enjoyed painting this one more loosely, with just a bare bones “sketch” of a few lines and highlights here and there. I used frisket to block out a few highlights on leaves and flowers. There was more frisket than graphite when I began, and not much of either. Working fairly wet, and lifting out the rays of light, the effect is more impressionistic. I like it. What’s more, I think I preferred painting more loosely. It was refreshing and energizing, especially when the final image is believable and resembles closely the flowers my Grandparents planted here many years ago. I am told that little shed actually was once a cabin as part of the old Offut Lake resort. It sits now on our family’s property (north shore). But I’m told that when I was too young to remember, Dad and Grandpa (and maybe a crew) moved the shed from a lot my Dad purchased, over to where it sits now. I’m not sure what color it was painted originally, but it’s been barn red with white trim ever since I can remember. The flowering quince was overgrown by wild sweet peas, rogue holly, and bracken ferns until last spring when I freed it with pruning shears and shovel. With a bit more water and less competition, it’s quite stunning this spring. Qor® watercolor paints on Arches cotton 140 lb., 9 x 12 inch paper. Image area is approximately 8 x 11.
