winter landscapes

                                  11x15

From a Zoom landscape class with Bill Rogers at Chesapeake Fine Art Studio. (Check them out: they offer classes, open studios, and some free demos.)

I like the class: he talks and paints and we paint along. 🙂

I like his approach too: it's methodical but simple and painterly.He says not to ask how you can reproduce what you see in the photo but how you can represent it.

This really looked like a fail to me while I was painting it--too busy ... But looking at it after I photographed it, I found things to like, mainly how the river recedes.

Have to go back and paint that overpass--yes, that's an overpass--in the back.
