| Distance, watercolor, about 4x4, 2009 |
When I painted this, I was at a friend's cabin and the scenery was beautiful, but I did not paint the scenery. I sat outside and painted from my imagination. I used the paint in a more opaque way than usual for me. I left the white spot near the base of the tree because it felt right to do so. The title distance comes from both the close-far feeling in the painting, and the fact that it reminds me of how sometimes I just need to remove myself from others for a little while.
I almost did not put this one in the show. I'm not sure why. But I did and it was one of the first to sell. Interesting.
