Common, ordinary landscape scenes often strike my fancy.  Here, some interesting trees along an irrigation ditch did it for me.  I especially liked the lighting, the cast shadows, the diagonal created by the ditch, and the colors.

It has been written in several biographies that John Singer Sargent - one of my painting heroes - would plop down just about anywhere and start painting.  He said he thought a painter ought to be able to paint anything that Nature presents to him. I figure that, yes, it’s swell to be able to paint anything, but why not look around a bit and find something inspiring?  I don’t just paint anything, in other words.  I need something that gets my creative juices flowing and I say to myself, "Oh, wow!  I've got to paint that!"

I hope you enjoy seeing this painting.



More to come,


Lee
