I have started a new project, which will focus on a single landscape for series of paintings. The intention is to study how the landscape changes from day to day, but also over the length of a season. This seems like a perfect time considering the impending change of colors. I really want to carefully observe lighting conditions and the affect on color. I will be photographing the same place regularly, and painting from photograph so I will have a few forms of documentation. I don’t know how long this will last, though my hope is that I will be able to do this for at least a few months. Perhaps this will be a good break from my regular work. Also, I expect this to be a great opportunity to focus on process. I hope to learn a lot about color and light observation over the coming months!
