My intension for the studio today was to start in on a piece I've been commissioned to paint.  I got distracted by the light streaming in through our kitchen window and onto the fruit bowl, however, and had a sudden urge to paint that instead.  The commissioned painting will be next, though.  Really.

One last fall scene. This view was on a walk back to our camp from Nat's bridge.  I'm missing summer already.

I took the reference photo for this painting on our last camp visit a few weeks back.  I zoomed in on this cluster of trees along the shoreline just to the right of Uncle Charlie's camp.  It was the strong light that caught my eye...even from such a distance.

We helped to close up our family's camp a few weeks back.  While there I had planned to collect a pocketful of acorns to bring home.  It seems the squirrels and chipmunks beat me to it, however, since these two acorns were all I found.  They were still worthy of a painting, though...no matter how small.

  My grandmother was a concert pianist and music teacher. She also loved to sew. She taught my brothers and me a bit of each.  We all took piano lessons from her (some of us persevering more than others!).  And, often when we spent time at her house she would pull out her button box and we'd hang out at her dining room table learning how to sew buttons onto scrap pieces of fabric.  I'm not sure my brothers really cherished those sewing sessions, but I remember them fondly.  That old tin cigar box held a vast assortment of buttons...all sizes, shapes, textures and colors...and all for the taking! I came across that box recently (still filled to the brim with buttons) which sparked the idea for this painting.  Given my grandmother's musical side, this particular paste paper background seemed a logical choice. 

This one's for you, Gran!

Another portrait of a Salmon Falls River Friends of Music member.  Chief Noda generally rounds out the evening's concert with stories that make you roar with laughter, and music so beautiful it makes you weep. A truly talented and gentle soul.
