Since I follow several blogs I confess I am disappointed when I visit and there aren't any current entries. For that reason I feel I need to apologize to my regular readers for not posting since July 25th. The reason for this is that I have been overextended lately and by the time evening rolls around I just want to crash! Add to that the fact that technical problems continue with Blogger. For instance, you will have to read this typos and all because I cannot back up and make corrections, nor can I add a caption to my photo and then add text. So... the above painting is a plein air piece I did yesterday above the Potomac River in McLean, VA where I live. It is a 16x20 oil on linen panel which I have titled "Mather Gorge". Let's see if I can add more before I get shot off the site:)

Ha! I won't even try to delete the little x in the box above as that was my first attempt to upload this photo. If I go back I wil be gone. What a pain in the arse! Anyway, this is my vantage point from yesterday and it was a spectacular day! The most ideal summer weather! I was able to finish the painting in one session and I am always happier with the paintings that I can do in one gulp. They are fresher that way.
I dont' think I will push my luck and upload the painting I did of the Great Falls last week. I do have to finish a small part of that one as it started to rain after two hours of work. I am finishing it outdoors on my deck working from reference photos and I will show you that progress tomorrow. I will stop while I am ahead:)
