Nearby there is a train trestle that I have frequently photographed and want to paint it very much. I haven't done it yet because to me, it says "oils, not watercolor". Anyway, I really wanted to catch the scene in winter and in the early morning sunlight. However, I hadn't taken into account the fact that the world tilts on its axis and the sun is not in the same place in winter. But I took pictures none the less but not of the trestle. There was a wonderful pool of ice and rocks covered with snow.
Zero Degrees:
When we visited family in San Diego some years ago, we would walk on the beach, and naturally, I took photos. One day the weather was gray and cool with rain threatening, and I took a photo of a man fishing from the beach. Something about the limited palette (few colors) and the subject spoke to me even though I like bright colors and have never fished in my life.
Checking the Line:
I am working on a new painting, but it is a trial so you may have to wait a while.
