I wanted to play with abstraction and paint quality today, so I painted this from a reference photo of a beach canyon with a mixture of ice plant and sage brush. It felt good (mentally), not to think to much and just respond. I’ve had a lot on my mind lately, but hope to return to a regular painting schedule soon!

Judith,
Looks good! When I take my glasses off I can see the depth,and volume of the plants and their placement. I’m working on an abstract today too. It’s a cloudy humid day in Tucson…
but somehow it just doesn’t feel like San Diego. Bummer.
