Painting #134 - This painting is inspired by another one of my colleague's photographs. I think I'm in the painting stage of trying to go tight so that I can go "loose." Yes, its a very traditional painting. I feel I need to go here so that I can get to the place of going loose with lots of colour.... I need to understand the realistic landscape before I move on to a more exciting imaginary landscape (I think!!).

Painting #129 - I'm not sure why, but this painting was challenging. I wanted to add colour instead of grey for shadows but the painting aways felt like something was missing. I needed a painting partner for this project!

Painting #126 - A colleague of mine took a beautiful photograph of this landscape. I wanted to see if I could capture the beauty of the landscape in paint that he did with his photograph. In the end, I like his photograph better, however, I developed more skills in the area of atmospheric perspective through this endeavour.

Painting #121 - I love the little "furry" white hairs around the petals of this flower. I also like the centre. Its interesting and I like how I captured its shadows. I should have perhaps had more light on the petals in the foreground.

Painting #120 - This started out as an unfinished abstract painting, which consisted of collaged clocks, airplanes and beautiful orange Japanese paper. I thought an autumn tree and time were a perfect match so I painted the sky and then used thick paint for the trunk and leaves ... very fun! I left just hints of the underground painting showing through.

Painting #117 - Sometimes its disappointing when somebody wants to buy one of my paintings but its not the right size. Thus, I painted this painting so that it could be placed beside Autumn's Path for a larger painting.
