I have been preoccupied with my current path. Rethinking goals and coming up with new approaches to old problems. Although I haven't painted much, I have had a number of breakthroughs that I am very excited about. I have a lot of work to do before the new project goes public. Something to look forward to.

      In the mean time, the plein air exhibit at the South Pasadena Public Library took place and "Standing Tall" is the second piece that I painted.  I originally had intended to paint the moon between the trees but the sunset was so lovely that I decided to paint that instead.

      With the light fading fast, I was glad that I had the basic shapes already blocked in. The setting sun hit the small clouds with a burst of color and I frantically worked before the light show was over. I always relish the connection to nature that takes place when painting outside. As I packed up to head home, a sense of peace embraced me along with the approaching night.
