Notes From My Tree Journal
My artist's ego took a beating this week from a couple of sources and I've been having some trouble with my plein air work, so it has not been a good painting week. That's OK. It's not the first time and surely won't be the last. The important issue for me is to have faith in myself regardless of outside rejections and influences. It is easy to believe you are failing because of set backs. They must be overcome and pushed aside in the quest for excellence as a painter.
This painting was done on location in my yard. Henry, my French Bulldog joined me by snoozing on the walkway while I worked on the painting. There is a group of trees I enjoy painting. The two white trunked trees get this way each year, losing their leaves very fast and leaving the white trunks with a few colorful leaves left for spots of color. They are striking!!
