What's happened

So much has occurred this past year. My mother passed away in October and I moved my life to be near my Dad. The interesting thing is that it has opened me up to new artistic expression. I have become associated with a Plein Air art group that does outdoor painting in natural areas and street locations. It is helping me to stretch my artistic muscles in ways that I hadn't thought of before. Most importantly, it got me painting again and motivated to do more. I have completed three landscape and one abstract painting in the past four months. I have two more started. This is truly an amazing thing. 

This painting is called 'Before the Rain'. I did actually get rained on a bit while I was painting it. For a better view please visit my website http://artoftheage.com .
