After taking a few weeks off from blogging, I am rested and excited about all the opportunities in the new year. I have just started to get back into my weekly routine, figure drawing on Tuesday, plein air on Thursday, studio work or marketing the rest of the week.

Last Thursday was a beautiful day in Eaton Canyon for painting outside. The sky was a lovely blue and the last of the leaves were just hitting the ground as I painted. This sycamore seems to be resting next to the pond, enjoying the sun as much as I did. Being from Pennsylvania, one of the many things I love about LA is the mild winters. Autumn seems to last for months with the trees finally loosing all their leaves in January. The rust leaves provided a wonderful contrast against the other green vegetation. The reflections in the pond added another dimension. I saw this painting in my mind before taking paint to canvas and am thrilled with the results.
