This summer has gone by so quickly. I've been teaching so much that I haven't had much time at my own easel. The summer has been filled with trips to Chester, NJ, Bozeman, Montana, Zion's National Park where I hiked with my kids, and a week up at our cabin in Utah for a much needed break that I have barely stepped foot into my own studio.
Painting is not like riding a bike. It's more like an Olympic sport. You have to keep at it or you lose it so I set up this sweet little still life to just get me warmed up for bigger and better things. How I love to paint David Austin Roses!!! They are a delight to not only paint but to smell.
