Fall – Simple Pleasures. #27 of 30

Hi Ginny, they are all pretty small – 5″ x 7″. I thought this one would be a simple quicky – I only had a bit of time – I had plans with the kids. I thought I could just whip it out. It was so hard to simplify – I kept going to far and having to pull it back. It was a challenging exercise for such a simple piece. This has been a great little lesson, though I am looking forward to some longer more complex studies and some figurative work. I would also LOVE to paint outside in the sun and figure out the landscape thing – but I may have to get on a plane to make that happen. I hope you are well my old friend. I miss your smiling face. Say hello to Bruce. Cheers.
