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.
After a day of painting details with a tiny brush, it's nice to look out my window & be inspire by simple shapes. A few big charcoal sticks, with a bit of rubbing in, can convey the graphic simplicity of sky & mountain peaks.
Another northeaster for us. Thank goodness for colorful magazines. This sketch comes from flipping thru my country living magazine. I could almost smell the scent from this summer bouquet.
