I broke off a few branches of cotton to bring home with me last week and this is the first sketch. As a born and bred northerner I am enthralled with this strange plant. I can't help but think of socks and T-shirts every time I pass a field of cotton.

The Upstairs Office - Daily Painting, small town, brick building, blue awnings, sunlight and shadow
It must be interesting to work in this office overlooking the town green. Most of my studios have been in the basement. I'm sure that is one of the reasons I love plein air painting so much...the whole outdoors is my office. This painting is 9" x 12", oil on canvas panel.

Tall Tennessee Cotton - SOLDDaily Painting,Cotton field,Tennessee,late afternoon sunlight
A spectacular late afternoon alongside a cotton field. This dirt road leads down to the Elk River.

Red, Yellow, Blue and Green - Daily Painting, Yellow House, Green Roof,Red Chiminey's, Madison, Alabama
I am happy with this little painting. This angle of the house and chimney's reminds me of a child's drawing of a house and the primary colors reinforced that feeling for me. I always become a little more nostalgic during stressful times. Memories, simplicity, basic shapes and colors comfort me.
