While painting this plein air piece in Fiji, I was focused on the shifts in the yellows between the sunlit areas and shadow along with the reflections in the water. The name of the yellow boat is “Rush” though I never saw it move (aside from the action of the tide).

While painting this I focused on the unique personality of this live oak in its twists and turns. It was painted on-site at Edgewood Park.
If you have to be cooped up at home on a rainy day in April, it’s pretty wonderful to paint the fire in the mini Vermont Castings stove that’s in the corner of my studio space.
I’m not sure I ever really sorted out the focal point for this painting. The blooming white lilacs? The birch tree? Now, I’m thinking it’s the bright oranges in our brand new unstained redwood fence.
