This is the first session work on a pair of small landscape sketches. Different perspectives on the same location — a dreamy azalea and live oak lined allee in Charleston. I love this early stage of the work … at the beginning you paint what you see in order to render the scene somewhat realistically. Gradually, toward the end of the session you begin to paint what you feel … squinting at the subject to flatten and simplify the forms, and then rendering them in patches of color. So! Much! Fun!
