Wispy Dawn

"Wispy Dawn" 6" x 6" Oil on hardboard

The sun was ready to peek through the low-lying clouds as I drove past the glimmer of a lake in the distance. If I had had a pole with me, I might have found my way to the shore and drowned a couple of worms.  

My "Lantern Bearers" painting, in the style of Maxfield Parrish is taking longer still than I expected. The faces and hands are the problems. I may give each pierrot a balloon head and mittened hands and call it a day.

Rye, Wispy

"Rye, Wispy" 6" x 8" Oil on hardboard

I tickled my own fancy with the title of today's painting. It was just going to be "Wispy," but when I looked at the field of ... rye, I couldn't help myself.  I'm being silly, of course, but I'm allowed. It's my blog! 

I worked on two knife paintings this morning and made messes of both of them. So I decided to write a short story instead. Once it was under way, another painting, this one, came easily.
