Moving ahead....

Bryn and I spent about another half hour working on our individual panels to add some value checks, finish and detail. Today's jpegs are the final stage for each.It was a very intimate opportunity to share time and art together. I think that we both profited greatly from the day together. Whether "He" chooses to pursue painting further lies within "Him". I will indeed support further interest he might show.

The trip was a great teaching warm up for me. I will be in Algonquin Park this week from Thursday to Sunday working with a plein air group of painters who are booked into the Adventure Lodge in Whitney at the East Gate entrance to the Park. The owner and a long time friend and artist Gertrud Sorensen generously invited me to attend the event... present a demo on Friday evening after supper and to carry out a critique session on Saturday for the artists in attendance. Since I likely know most of the artists... it will be a relaxed atmosphere to work (and paint) in. I am very much primed and looking forward to a productive four day paint out. Hope the weather is as nice as the past week here. Snow still can be found in abundance there too in at least wooded and north-facing places. I am sending along yet another plein air piece to prove that Spring... despite its overall earthy-toned breadth holds places in reserve... if "You" are motivated to get out and search them out! Spring with all of its changes and transitions provides new and exciting subjects to paint.

I'll post and share the results of the Algonquin Adventure early next week when "I" return! Until then...

Good Painting to all!!
