Cloud #21 - Boston Evening Star


Oil on paper, 5" square
This is an image I have worked and reworked many
times. It is the view from my studio (and after that,
my newborn daughter's room...) when I lived in
Boston in the 80's and early 90's. Like some figure
poses, there is something about the shapes in this
image that I find endlessly intriguing. I witnessed
many sunsets from this window, and I could prob-
ably do 25 more of these paintings and never get
bored, mining my memory for colors.
This was supposed to be a "daily painting", but
ended up being a "two-day daily painting" because
I needed to create two layers.
Thanks for visiting today.

This is another in the series. I am really caught up in doing this, and
can't seem to stop painting clouds. I'm hoping to follow this up with
full landscapes. I'll just have to see what happens.

After all this snow, gray skies, cabin fever, S.A.D.,

etc., etc., I just decided I had to paint myself a cloud

that would remind me that spring and summer will

really be here some day. As a matter of fact, I have

daffodils sticking out of the ground in my front yard-

only right now they're buried by three feet of snow.

It's a good thing they are hardy plants!


This picture just makes me feel happy, and I hope it

helps your mood too.
