Well, it IS January, after all and we have close to 20 inches of snow on the ground. It is a sunny day after the storm, and there is a "window" of time in which to paint before gloves must be used. Usually I find that this window is about an hour and a half -- around 11 AM - 12:30 PM. Even then it may be advisable to turn to pastel or even charcoal sketching to avoid the delay of set-up that oils usually takes me. I must drop off a few paintings before I can enjoy the sunny snow! I Hope, dear reader, that you enjoy this snow day by celebrating with a brush, pencil, or pastel. Next blog, I hope to show you more images.
About Me
- tom martino
- I love impressionist painting but there is also the influence of the Tonalist School in my work. I love the outdoors, especially the coastline, beach, rocks, and waves. I believe in a life beyond the commercial saturation of society,and I find life without poetry and music unliveable. I love the paintings of Sorolla, Sargent, and Metcalf; the music of Rachmaninov, Borodin, and Bizet; and poems of Rumi and other Sufis.
