Today I am diving head first into work. This is how I cope sometimes. My easel has always been my sanctuary when life gets a little off balance.
So, remember that "boulder field" painting I was working on sometime last century? :O) Well I've finally seen past the issues I was having with it and got after those figures. This painting is another big one - 46 x 36" - with several figures, so is slow going. Here is a detail of the procession of women riding side saddle into the mountains. I'll post more on it later.
But I also wanted to show you an update of this Farm Girl I posted a few weeks back. The background seemed empty, so I added this flock of birds to it. I think it adds a nice compositional flow to the painting. I also toned down the outline of the mountains, which seemed a bit distracting.

A Note:
Thank you everyone, for your love and support during this recent tragedy. Hearing all your stories and well wishes has sure made this time much more bearable.
