Couldn’t help it
A commission
My friend Dave requested this painting of the spot where his best friend Jimmy’s ashes were scattered several years ago. It’s a present for Jimmy’s father, who visits this Audobon sanctuary at least once a week. I saw the view in person with Dave and then he took this picture for me to work from.
Plein air(ish) at last

Lanes Cove Path (oil)
I painted about half of this outdoors on the spot, and half indoors from a photo I took when I started painting. It finally forced me to work more loosely and to struggle with color as it appears (and changes) in real life.
