We only managed to get out painting one day this weekend, it was rainy and COLD!  The sun did peek out a bit, but it was still a  stretch to get these colors out of the landscape. On a sunny day those chairs would look more inviting. There is far too much green in the landscape already, it seems we went from spring to summer colors very fast this year.... if only it would warm up some!

Red Truck

"Red Truck"

Oil on panel  12x12 $200

I usually like to return to the same place to paint, often not far from home. There is always a new perspective or angle to see the scene from, which reinforces why you choose it in the first place.  

I had painted this shed before, but this is the first I had included the red truck. Having decided there was more to explore with the red truck, I was all set to tackle it again. Imagine my disappointment to see the old junk hauled off yesterday on the back of a trailer!!  Oh, the best laid plans.

Dusk Surprise

  Dusk, Sinclair Road Johnson, oil on panel 8.5x24. $275

After a beautiful weekend of painting weather we are covered in clouds and rain, but Vermont never ceases to amaze. The sky parted at dusk and put together this display of light that I tried to capture from my studio window. There is always something to paint.

Each of the artists posting here will have a different outlook on what we should contribute, much like the differing styles of work you will see here. It is my hope you will get a glimpse into the world of a practicing artist.

It always fascinates me as to why I choose to paint certain things. This painting was done atop a hill behind Marcie's house looking over the valley to the opposite hill. Often I am overwhelmed by the vistas, so I focus on a single element. In this case it was the red roof and the strip of light that made up the front lawn. Making those elements sit in there space, creating a place for the viewers' eye to travel make up the challenges that excites me as a painter. - Bradley Fox bradleyaf@earthlink.net
