Working in the field poses both challenges and unexpected surprises. I can walk along for quite a while, and not come across the right moment, feeling or image and then suddenly, when least expected , you are presented with "it". When the moment is fleeting, (and light is quickly fading) I will often do a very fast oil sketch, concentrating only on the "abstract" and composition created by the major lights and darks, determine the major colour theme and then take a reference photograph. I also will take notes, trying to put into works the feeling, mood and atmosphere of the scene.

Recently, I've been focusing on the light effects from morning and late afternoon light. When we were in New England this past fall, I was stunned by what the sky "did". It seemed etherial, almost unreal, the sky, clouds and light morphed into these vistas of bold colour and form.
I've been reviewing my oil sketches, notes and photographs from that trip. As I continue to work on this series of paintings, I never cease to be amazed by what colours I need to dip into to create the feeling of those skies and the misty, mysterious forms which play in the shadows.
