the past few months

It's been a while. In the past few months I haven't had a chance to dedicate enough time and effort to working outdoors, and especially to updating this blog.
In the summer I didn't do any extensive outdoor work (unfortunately, now that it's getting cold and miserable again I suddenly begin to feel the urgency to go out and create... leave it to me to choose adverse weather conditions for work. This might have to do something with other people wanting to stay in in the winter... Too many walkers, bikers, joggers, dog-walkers, and children out in the summertime - to disruptive to my liking.)
I participated in an exhibit related to Sandwich, which was concurrent with the annual Sandwich festival. I walked the streets in that area, and painted pieces of my wanderings, such as the pavement or lost objects. I couldn't muster the courage to actually paint outside for that series, I painted from photographs. Needless to say it wasn't as rewarding as painting from life, but some pieces turned out to look quite nice. They're all very little paintings (smaller than your computer screen). My infatuation with Nu-Lustre-55 (high-gloss epoxy) is still going strong!
