Kissed by the Sun

This fall has been a season of noticing the wondrous effects of light as the sun kisses first one and then another of nature's treasures.  Ten women have taken the "Kissed by the Sun" classes - it's good to take a creative journey together with others that make their own discoveries.

After sun kissed corn, I created lessons on capturing the autumn glory of color contrasted by white plums of pampas grass.
It's been a joy to keep ahead of the class and paint these subjects to create pass on able lesson hand outs.  Here are the two paintings of autumn glory.

Spider webs appear in the fall.  It's always a surprise to catch one that is illuminated by the sun.  Here are three spider web paintings - each of a different web, using masking or resist to create the web, paint the background, and then remove the masking to reveal the web.
