River Church in Winter oil on linen 16 x 20 2017

River Church in Winter oil on linen 16 x 20 2017

It's been a while

May 26, 2017

This piece is from a photograph I took several years ago. I waited for the sun to fall on the church community for an hour in sub sub freezing temps. It's far from perfect. Far from a tight render. Somehow It  didn't want to be rendered. So many things just don't need to be rendered like others things need to be. Feeling, sense of place, time ?

I did this a one of Peter Fiore's workshops in May. I found nothing but encouragement to go down this path. Thank you Peter, Barbara, Judy and all the other participants in the workshop.

The study has it's own charm. I really like this. Could this be a new direction.
