Spring Snow original plein air painting 2007-03-21 18:39:00 12" x 12"
oil on canvas
Nearly fresh off the easel
While Spring
officially began yesterday I completed this piece a couple days ago.
The day began clear and bright and nature decided to whisk in a spring squall.
I never try to fight with nature but instead chase the changes no matter how quickly they come.
Make it a Beautiful week,
All the best,
Rebecca

I was cautious in mentioning any of this until I knew for sure that is was legitimate with all the silly scams out there on the internet.

After this piece and especially Sun Dance I have made peace with all the green that surrounds me.
I have been going through a transition with my art and realizing more about myself.
I don't know why it takes me so much. Where as others it comes quite easily.
But I am who I am.
Just someone in love with light and color.

When the sunsets this way I absolutely love it and it was one of my favorite things to paint.

My paintings are funny things.This was a gorgeous bright spring day and I enjoyed the long moments and warm sunshine.I just stepped out of the way and let my brushes and knives have fun.If only we artists can just step away from ourselves more often and let go of expectations and false restrictions, we just might have a ton more Read more:Bright

I finished this piece just in time as a gentle thunderstorm blew in.I love how the distant sky appears as a storm approaches.I wanted to create a more peaceful piece than the one before and the sky obliged.
The trees are filling out quickly and I want to grab as many on site pieces as possible before the stark branches are hidden with
Shapes 2006-04-19 22:37:00 Done, for now...
I love the natural shapes found in nature. Patterns made bythe tree branches, sunlight and all the wonderful colors.
Once the paint settles there are a couple more little things I'm going to add/change to this piece.
I have learned a lot completing it.
and it has been something inside me that with each painting I am getting closer to finding and realizing on the canvas.

I got two days into my new work and Northeast Ohio weather decided to change again. All of the snow melted by the third day, I had hoped to get back into this piece but the more I looked at, the more I realized it is done.

This piece has gone through many transitions over the last few days. It had been entirely grey outside for weeks, not enough sunshine for any shadow to be cast. I'm glad I pushed past what I was feeling and experiencing. And am thankful that the sun did come out three days into this painting, although it completely changed

12" x 12" oil on canvas
It's not often that I choose to let a painting go and prime over it to create a new one.
But what's under this painting was an attempt to create something, from a place I am not at any more but have the fondest memories of.
What I'm trying to say is I looked back and thought I could produce something like I had many years ago, it wasn't a success., We can't go Read more:Landscape
