Back to my blog finally after 6 weeks or so of moving studios and working on a couple of commissions, and generally things taking much longer than i anticipate !. I had trouble uploading the photo and had to use the old editor (like being away i forgot how to do it)??

Anyway it feels good to be back in the studio in Portland after a very busy hornby summer.

Hmm..truly i am enamored with the colours and goings on in the shifts in tides.  This is a piece I did in October, thought I would get caught up with my postings..this has been a big move and havent done much in the way of painting.  Though today I finished painting my studio..ready to get to work!

I have been interested lately in the shifting light on tides and sandbars and tidal pools..

"Sandbars and Tidal Pools"

This piece was a challenge to created that sense of distance and tension..is a new direction and closer look at the subject that fasinates me..

Ater the rain stopped

"After the rain stopped" 12" x 12" 2009
This was inspired by the light after waiting (patiently) for the rain to stop. The light was amazing. I am pointing in the direction of more absraction..really love the pattern of light and mood ..love the beach and the tidal action that is of it

I am a little unsure of this painting..its quite a bit less refined than the others and done mostly with a palette knife..i will sit with it in the studio and see how i feel about it..
