Birches On The Stillwater

October 13, 2020

Unseasonably cold and rainy here in Montana. It's, well, gray! Lucky for me gray has, over the last year or so, gone from a fastidiously avoided color to one of my favorites. I'm often layering cool Payne's Gray or warm Portland Gray over an underpainting in warm reds, oranges, yellows and magentas. Some days I paint some days I scumble!  But rest assured I'll be making marks on canvas rain or shine.

Here's what's on my easel today.
