ENTERING MARCH

Well, here it is a new month.  February surely went by quickly.  My challenge to myself for the month of February included producing two paintings a week.  I can say I did that, although some will never be seen again.  As I've lost much of the momentum that built up in January with the 30 paintings,   I've contemplated stating a one painting everyday  goal for March, but there will be none.  I foresee much distractions from a steady stream of painting... including working on taxes and will be going to Juneau sometime this month.  

Right now, I'm working on a gouache painting that is larger than most.  It started out as a watercolor which I spent considerable time on and was about to give up on.  I know it will take a while to do at my slow pace with gouache.  I will continue with this painting before starting something new.

 Here are three small paintings that I did during the last couple of weeks:


 watercolor 7 x 5 inches


 watercolor 5 x 7 inches


watercolor 7 x 5 inches

The first one is of wild paintbrush, one of my favorite wild flowers.  The other two of of Reid Glacier, in Glacier Bay, painted from photos I took in the 90s.  The paintbrushes were in Glacier Bay too.

I've missed seeing your work this month and love the paintings you have completed. The glacier paintings are incredible with such beautiful reflections. Congratulations on keeping up such a nice momentum after the challenge.
