The Old Thames



















Paint something different or paint differently seems to be my only two options to get painting again. This is piece is mostly a paint differently painting achieved by using a small brush and colors I don't usually use. The subject is an old friend including my favorite bridge, the Hungerford bridge, now sadly disfigured.

Did this last week. Just got around to photographing it. No better than the rest.

Boring. I think because I'm trying to paint landscapes instead of moods using landscapes. At least painting on little panels is an economical way of trying to find what you're doing wrong.

Little Study 1



















It's been quite a while, once again. Vacations, babysitting, no idea what I want to paint are largely to blame. I was at a gallery the other day and saw big paintings (eight foot by eight foot) painted to sell to rich people to hang on their big white walls in their big houses, and was glad I didn't have to do that. So I painted this instead and put a $100K price tag on it.
