This weekend was a full one - I taught a plein air workshop here in Austin and had a fabulous time watching my students create wonderful paintings. It is so satisfying! It also always gives me the itch to smear some paint myself, so today I went back to one of our sites to paint this captivating tunnel of trees.
ALSO - many thanks to Katherine Tyrell for featuring my International Artist Magazine award on her March 29th blogpost on Making a Mark. Thank you for your support, Katherine!!

Laurel,
ReplyDeleteThis is so fantastic. Another super painting. I love the colour, the light and the gorgeous design. Wonderful. I contrast it with my walk today through trees still wearing their bare branches, and surviving icy cold temperatures.

Love it, love it, love it, Laurel. You make it look so easy! I know exactly where you were today. Very impressed.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful painting, Laurel. Wonderful colors and brushwork.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! How do you manage to always come up with a great painting?!
ReplyDeleteLaurel, I imagine that you must be a wonderful teacher and a very giving one at that. Glad you returned to this spot. I love the way you put the sky 'back into' the trees, that is sometimes tough to make work. I had to enlarge your image to take a closer look! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you all...
ReplyDeleteIn answer to Jala's comment - First, Jala, thank you, but I was going to ask YOU that question! And second, I have plenty of paintings in my repertoire that will never see the light of day if they haven't been scraped or wiped already! ;)
I have really enjoyed seeing your work. Your brushstrokes are wonderful, and you capture a great sense of light in your paintings. I look forward to seeing more.
