Summer Season Is Finally Here!

Thank goodness the summer season is finally here. My kids are done with school and that means no more athletic schedules to work around. It means more free time to continue with my artwork. My life class will be starting back soon and I can return to figure drawing and all the associated problems that that entails. I can't wait. I was really making some nice drawings when classes were suspended and will be thrilled to resume. I still continue working on my "conductor" series, but felt the need to halt any work on the latest piece. It was not working out and did not have the sense of movement that I was looking for. Still the subject matter is attractive and remains interesting to me.

I think I shall try to get out and do some landscape painting before the really hot weather begins. I think possibly Great Falls and the surrounding area will be full of great subject matter and the lighting will be fantastic on the water or through the trees. I hope to complete some nice studies and then perhaps work up the ideas in the studio. If time permits and the painting is good, there is no telling............a nice piece may come from my plein aire sessions! I will keep you posted.
