I did this painting the same day right after my previous post of The Bushes say Spring, But the Trees are Not Convinced. The views are about 100 yards apart, although looking in different directions. I chose this asymmetrical composition with the troika of pines because they have more substance right now than all the still mostly bare deciduous trees. To paraphrase Gertrude Stein: There's more there, there.
The cool thing about painting outdoors is that you meet some really great people. Kate Toussaint came over to see what I was doing while finishing up House on the Hill... she has painted herself. During our conversation she mentioned she has an album out! It's wonderful music, guitar and voice with really nice harmonies and uplifting lyrics. The album notes state: "Surprisingly, Kate Toussaint never intended for you to hear any of these songs. She wrote them to teach herself positivity, finding her joy and creating the life of her dreams. Her friend and recording artist Jamie Shaak, heard them and was so profoundly moved by them that she asked Kate to share them. She produced this album as a gift to herself and to everyone that hears it. This album is truly transforming." And so it is. Joy is What You Love...
