Time to take a break from photographing and measuring old paintings, and – worst of all – typing the information into the media section of the website!
A couple of weeks ago I painted on a day that felt like the last moments of winter and the beginning of spring. I decided to photograph my progress over the couple of hours it took to complete the picture.
I have never done this before, and frankly it was odd, a little like someone watching over my shoulder. But it is interesting to me after the fact, also providing a permanent opportunity to ask that annoying question, “Should I have stopped sooner?”!
Really like this. Final result great gentler than some of your work.
Thank you Philippa!
Hi Mike thanks it’s really interesting to see the progression!
A privilege to watch an act of artistic creation in progress, especially for regular mortals who lack any artistic talent.
Ha! Too kind. Thank you.
I think you got it just right!

Really kind!
Because I am so engaged with working process in art, I loved this segment the best so far…especially because the results are equally as marvelous as the steps toward it!

Thank you – from one M to another!
I love the opportunity to be watching over your shoulder. It is a great treat to see the work develop, and the final result is beautiful.
Thank you – much appreciated
What a treat to get to watch over your shoulder and see how your work comes into being. The final result is beautiful!
Thank you Medill!
