<br />
that wouldn't normally be a problem, but one of those bedrooms was slated tobe my "new" studio! finally, after many weeks of work and great determination from my darling wife the studio is ready and i finally got down to some work!<br />

here is the studio ready to go! i wanted to get straight in and start working on a backlog of ideas. and i did. the weather is a tad warm, so some of the floaty, wet-in-wet work i had planned will have to wait.<br />
<br />
here is the first tangible result, "winterwood - i".<br />

this one pulls at me and pushes me away at the same time. i like the way the negative painting supports the golds and the shapes "almost" work. i have posted this for completeness of the series as it stands today. that is all.<div>

we went down to the great ocean road for a holiday. looking out at the ocean, knowing that if we swam south we wouldn't hit land until we cam to antarctica. it is a weird feeling...<br />
<br />
the top two paintings were the last two i did. the left has a cold sky, the right has a warm sky. see how they compare and each works differently...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
i started by trying to capture the soft blues and greens of the cliff side plants... that hasn't yet happened to my satisfaction.<br />
