Long time no see, huh?
I have been out of pocket...visiting my sister in the Pacific Northwest with my other sister and taking care of my elderly mother. Lots going on with family, so I've been a little preoccupied. It's been hard finding time to get back into the studio, and boy, do I miss it!! Feel like it's where I'm supposed to be, yet finding time to get in there has been a challenge.
I played around in there a little today. I found a picture of the Sea of Galilee. This is not a photo I took when we went to Israeal a few years ago, but a photo I found on the internet. Sure wish I knew the name of the church in the picture. Do you happen to know?
I'm playing with values of light and dark here, blocking in some color.
A little more detail here with the church. Still playing with the trees and their colors in light and dark. Love the way the water looks for real. So hard to capture all the beautiful colors and nuances with a photo.
Hoping to finish up the painting tomorrow night after my younger son's basketball tournament. When you work with a palette knife, time is of the essence!
