On Thursday, the day started out with hazardous air, so I planned to work in the studio rather than the painting workshop. When I went to the house for lunch, I noticed that I could see things and it didn’t smell smoky! Wait, where am I?? So Trail Guy and I took a short walk, first time in a month, and then I was able to paint. And not just paint, but paint with the doors flung open! (The AQI was 52, considered “moderate”.)
I painted the edges on this one.
I started another orange painting.
What is that about? Someone saw the 12×12 painting called “In The Orchard” and requested an 11×14″ version of the same scene, but this time with a little rougher looking soil and some orange blossoms.
It was so wonderful to have clear air that I carried it outside to photograph for you.
It looks more normal hanging on the wall. Well, as “normal” as possible for a scribbly base coat.
Do you think I can get it to this level, PLUS orange blossoms? Of course you do. Thank you for your confidence in my abilities.
This one needed to be finished so I moved it to the easel from off the shelf.
Clearly there is a theme here. I will tell you why eventually.

Orange you glad you chose a theme for this post?
