Inspirations and sketches from my studio in the Catskill Mountain. The solitude of my Artist Retreat compels me to keep exploring, seeing, experimenting, and painting all the picturesque quality outside my window.

LIKE THIS
I like this tiny orchid so much, I'm putting this up again....as usual, half the job is choosing the right material....I rub in beige pastel onto paper, came along with a kneaded eraser and drew with the eraser....a bit of oil paint on top of the pastel for definition

SANDPAPER
choosing the right material could be half the job....this tiny pastel is 2x4 inches, done on a type of sandpaper for pastel, quite happy with this new paper

UP THERE
simple relaxed meals on my deck or in my garden...despite the heavy clouds, making the most of outdoor living and outdoor painting
