The vastness of the sky and ocean from high up on the California coastal cliffs is amazing. It’s a dynamic, exciting place even on a calm day. 6 x 8” oil on panel.

5 new paintings in 5 hours spread over 5 days! One a day. There was some prep work to get ready for the 5-day challenge, which is a good jump start on the plain air painting season. I’ll finish the paintings over the next week and post them.

Four block-ins in five days for the #artworklivingchallenge and I’ll finish the paintings in the next few days. The goal was to finish the basic block-in in under 30 minutes. It was good motivation but I didn’t reach that goal on any painting. I spent an average of 40 minutes on each one (not including time spent mixing paint).

Visiting the Minneapolis Institute of Art today was so inspiring. I enjoyed the experience of a “normal” activity. Normal today means wearing a mask and reserving my time there, but those are minor adjustments in the scheme of things. I love the European Impressionists exhibit that is always on display, and I wandered through other collections that I will spend more time with sometime in the future.

Creative Living

Creative living is any life you live where your decisions are based more strongly on your curiosity rather than on your fear.

To suppress a truth is to give it force beyond endurance.
