Location: New England, United States

I am a Hugo award-winning fantasy/SF artist who works on both publishing projects and film concept work(such as Jimmy Neutron and most recently, The Ant Bully) but I have a passion for landscape work, small paintings and exploring the properties of paint. This blog will mostly showcase my "painting-for-the-day" as kind of a personal voyage. I'll also be inserting sketches,photos and ideas of projects I am working on, that I can, when I can, so look for those every so often(usually as paint is drying!)

Okay, back to painting....

A Line of Clouds and Trees.
Well, finally we get back to paintings. Or I should say, I get back to them. Whatever. I did this Plein Air last Fall, in a small park. One of the banes of some plein air painters is a sudden crowd of onlookers when there was nary a soul minutes before. In this case, kids on bikes. It kind of threw me off, putting it delicately. But, I will say, they were GOOD kids who had NICE things to say. The "adults" seemed put out I was blocking their view. I also did not like the canvas I was working on. I should have had a panel to work on, but oh well. Speaking of green and nice skies...I smell Spring coming soon to a hemisphere near you!

"I smell Spring coming soon to a hemisphere near you!" Obviously this was several days ago! Ah well, I hear warming for the weekend.

Nice painting, despite the interrupting onlookers.

It was when I could smell a hint of spring and not this accursed winter. I hate cold.
