Daffodills, dogwoods and redbuds

Tis spring in Virginia

This is a romantic painting started with white and the primary colors stroked and blended for a light background .  First begin with the sky, add clouds and begin a sunset.  Close your eyes and envision mountains and valleys and trees, then proceed to build a place in time with shadows and dappled light .  There is a time for sketches and thumbnails of values,  working out compositions, etc.   Sometimes we need to just paint and dream.
