January Plein Air Painting

I had a blast freezing in the January cold and also managed a few sketches of the mid-winter marsh.

                 Here you can see the progression from the dark warm ground with light highlights to
                                                      a fully completed painting with color!

Lifescapes

This recent body of work enters into a dialogue about aging and the body in an effort to explore the beauty and variability of expression we exhibit as we add years to our life.  I appreciate  any thoughts or comments you may have to share on this work.
