Been painting less than I was over the winter. Moved to the burbs and new studio space is in a basement and a lot less convenient. Y is always hanging out upstairs so in the interest of spending more time with her I have to move the paints upstairs whenver I want to paint which is a bit of a PITA. The light is a whole lot better there but it's not my space so I feel less comfortable and it's less encouraging to work.
I did take a figure painting workshop with Steve Fleming in early April that has inspired me to paint figures more. I've been working from an Anthropologie catalog that came to the house and from some Selkirk photos taken in 2006 and 2009. Also from some amazing John Scurlock photos of the Cascades.
I got many good images from my backpacking trip into Grand Gulch a few weeks ago that I'm looking forward to interpreting when I get the courage. I did not do as much sketching as I had planned or hoped to do. The first night was snowy and cold and the other evenings more comfortable but I was either exhausted or it was too late when we stopped. Focused on photography:
