| In Quiet Water 18" x 14" acrylic on masonite |
This Painting was the product of my stay on Bainbridge Island in August where I taught a three day plein air workshop. I go there again tomorrow to teach another workshop. It's been a busy month with my classes starting, exhibitions going up and others coming down, meetings (blah...blah...blah..). My commute time from my home on a little island is about an hour and a half each way. Sometimes I feel like I'm just rushing from one minute to the next.
Then there's painting. It seems to suspend time...or better, time seems to stretch sideways. And there is the added benefit of slowing down, standing for hours very quietly in front of something that inspires me...trying to observe every nuance. The act of painting is very personal to me and frames everything else with meaning and purpose.
