Rough draft … this probably looks fairly complete, but this is the point where I’ve got all the colors roughly down in the spot where I want them. Now I step back and consider what final changes are needed before calling it done. #painting

My mother was an artist and my father was a research meteorologist. My dad would marvel at a storm for the mechanics at play while my mom would see the sheer visual beauty of it all. Somehow, I think I got a little piece of both of them. APPROACHING STORM, 16x16”, Acrylic

I lost my dad recently. He played a huge role in my artwork and I’ll be posting a few paintings this week that connect me to him. He was a research meteorologist and I’d spend my summers with him on weather projects studying hail. Every storm I paint has a piece of him in it.

A few years back, my dad confessed to me that he was afraid to die. I painted this painting to give him comfort as he journeyed from here to there. It hung next to his bed until he passed. Russian Olives were my dad’s favorite trees.

Painting in progress … cloud work. I like to keep my clouds pretty rough and suggestive. It’s very easy to get lost in the details of clouds so I prefer large chunky strokes that define the shape. Once the rest of the paint is down, I’ll return to this area if it’s needed. #art
