Hard at “Work”!

 Having sold most of my work at the Littleton Affordable Arts Festival, I am now hard at “work” creating new things for my fall shows.  I hate to call this “work” because it is so satisfying to me.  I won’t say it’s easy or relaxing, but working on new paintings stretches me in places where I need stretching!
 
I am very aware that my style has undergone a lot of change in the last year.  And I am leaning into it.  I am attempting things that I never would have thought of before.  I am heading to the abstract, but I hope I can still keep a foot (or a toenail) in the representational world.  An artist friend noted that I was now capturing the spirit of a place rather than focusing on its appearance.  I was glad to hear that, as that is exactly what I want to do.  

Here’s my latest, based on a study I did in Iceland:
