Night Twenty

  The trick is to keep going until I find it.  This particular image was elusive at first.

Night Nineteen

  I found some great marks today!

Night Eighteen

  I'm really trying to focus on spending time while painting in pursuit of the image - allowing myself to "find" it.  This means creating marks, taking them in, and deciding to preserve or alter them.  It always results in a more electrifying surface and satisfying piece.

Night Sixteen

Night Fifteen

Night Fourteen

  I definitely grounded this composition with some sort of land - perhaps a recent image on Catherine Singer's blog was lurking in my subconscious.

Night Thirteen

  We have spirea on our property and they've been in bloom the past few weeks.  The petals are small and abundant and seem to pepper all nearby surfaces with a sprinkle of white.  They're like summer's snow - and I couldn't resist using them.
