It is indeed a time of hope but with all the excitement about the inauguration it's important not to lose site of all those around the country who are suffering. With that in mind, I did this Vermont portrait.

A Winter's day 1.15.09 Oil on gessobord 6"x6" $125
After not painting for awhile it took me a few tries to get this one right. I'm learning that with this type of gestural painting it's important to warm up first, just as you would before exercising. Sometimes it feels like you've forgotten how to paint but with patience it comes back to you.
