Women in Red Light

About this painting: This is a study of women in dramatic red lighting. Since I started my painting a day project I've found that I have definitely not settled on one subject or one style. I really like the idea of painting the human figure. People fascinate me, but I have very little practice in this area- and having moved to Phoenix only 6 weeks ago I seem to have few people that I know well enough to attempt a portrait on, I keep asking DJ, but he pretty much dodges the question. Anyway, here's todays painting.

Snow Trees

About this painting: On January 2, 2006, the day before our wedding DJ and I took members of my family to Lost Trail Ski Area. It was such an amazing day. All of the trees were weighed down with dense sparkling snow. Everything was white. This is a study of two of the trees from a photo we took.
