Painting Again!

 My Cousin and mentor Jenny Richter challenged me to start painting again. So I dusted off my paint box and got going. We would meet at Mary Adams' house and work on different projects as they showed me the nuts and bolts of oils that I had forgotten over the the last few decades. 

Currently I am really drawn to the the extra wide format because I feel like it is the best fit for the landscapes that are currently inspiring me. It is amazing how much differently I look at the world around me when I think that I might end up paining it. It helps me see the beauty and awe in nature again. 

Here are the paintings that I have created in the last few months (most recent at the top and earliest at the bottom, GPS coordinates of the location included.)
