This blog traces my influences, studio practice, learning, and teaching of art.

"Willowy Twilight I"

How it is painted varies. The Berkshire landscape was painted from a plein air study in the studio. Sunsets are the perfect solution to the dilemma of "What do you do with all that green?" Notice the derriere distant hills.

"Willowy Twilight II"

It's not done till it looks right. The addition of the loutrophoros vase creates a completely different painting. This was a wedding vase shape for holding water for the ceremonial bathing of the bride. The loutrophoros was also used to bathe the unmarried dead and was placed in their tomb.
