An Unexpected Problem

September Maple 18 x 14

This painting has been done for a couple of weeks, however computer problems have kept me out of touch for a while.

It is an interesting experience to have your computer die. After the first feelings of frustration and panic, I realized that eliminating all of the fiddling around I do on the computer would free up a bit more painting time. I have not yet recovered my data, which means that I do not have access to my source files – several years worth of photos that I use for ideas and inspiration. So I found myself digging through my desk and found a very old file of printed photos that had once interested me. They have given me some new ideas and shifted my direction slightly. I am also anxious to get out and take some new photos – inspiration is everywhere!

(By the way, when I talk of reference photos, they are all my own pics, taken by me).

  1. I keep coming back to this one because I enjoy the colour so much. Excellent work as usual.

    I love this painting because it is exactly the spot where I would let my beautiful Greyhound – whose name was Maxine – off the leash where she would run in exactly 3 elipses before going back on leash.

      That is great Kersten.
      (By the way, this is on my running route too!)
