Plein air sessions and the Tuesday group at the Harlow Gallery in Hallowell have allowed for working through a number of studies, both indoors and out. The process of selecting a subject, composing a frame, sketching, preparing a palette and then actually painting within a 3 or so hour period has been challenging, and a little frenetic at times. There always seems to be a need to finish up in the studio. Some say the results are more "authentic." I'm not sure about that, but it is a real change of pace. On another note, we took in the latest set of shows at the Farnsworth. The Four in Maine: Drawings show was outstanding. It runs through Sept 11, so if you are up in Rockland, check it out.
