Fall

It seems like I was just wishing for fall to start. Now the leaves have all but turned and fallen and we've even had a short-lived snow. Everything happened very quickly this year.....of course a few weeks recuperation tends to make one feel like they missed some things.

At any rate, I'm determined to get a few more fall paintings done in the actual outdoors before everything is gone and I have to resort to photos for a month or two....

Still catching up....



Recovery continues....everyone keeps advising me to take it easy. The problem is I can't keep still that long and I have to get up and paint.

A couple more pieces....

Back to life....





So you may have noticed that I've been pretty remiss in my regular postings. The story is long and somewhat gory, so I won't go into too many details here....I'm sure I'll have something to say as I go on here, but for now...I'm just happy to be alive.

The short version is: emergency abdominal surgery can really kick your a**.

I was all set to update and post following my first plein air festival experience at Plein Air Moab when, one day after returning, I was in doubled over with peritonitis and in the hospital for surgery. 24 hours longer and it would have been game over.....'nuff said for now....


To briefly catch up, here are few pieces from Moab....
