Marlborough Pond

 Marlborough Pond
Oil on canvas, 10x10
sold

Never in the entire time that I've been painting have I gone this long - three weeks - without painting. Finally, finally, I felt good enough yesterday to set out and give it a try. It was brutally hot - 98 degrees - but it was afternoon, and I was pretty sure I could find shade, so off I went.

While I was driving around, looking for a place that was lovely and had shade, I began to worry that I would no longer be able to paint. After all, painting showed up in my life unbidden. Isn't it possible that it could vanish the same way?

It has not, and I am thankful. I found this lovely pond, I had a great time, and I like this piece a lot!

My next show is the Wickford Outdoor Art Festival, Saturday and Sunday. Please come! I'll be on Elam Street. It's an excellent show, and a lovely little village, and the art is generally spectacular.

Thanks, Raventa! It is very alive, isn't it? That makes a good painting, in my book.
