Point of View

My friend Bo's summer has been other than expected way more than once already.

Disrupted … or enhanced?

Refreshingly rearranged … or discombobulated?

Jarring … or sweetly surprising?

Depends on your point of view. Bo turns her eye to the gifts.

When my painting efforts veer towards other than expected—and I veer towards other than pleased—I am grateful for Bo's lens.

Bo sent me a photo from one of her unexpected summer twists. I painted from it. Thanks, Bo!

You know I relate to this!

Very inviting path at the center of the grasses, and evocative sky. Interesting rendering of the trees ... heavy, thick evergreens.

Meg, enjoyed your feeling invited into the painting via the path. The reference photo had only a hint of what may or may not have been a path. As the painter, I created that invitational space and then moseyed my way to the Adirondacks, soaking up both the deep cool evergreen shade and the wide warm sunglow.
