I’m pleased as punch to announce that the Fresh Paint category has officially graduated into it’s own blog.
Judith is now blogging solo at Attentive Equations. Do give a visit.

Fresh Paint
It’s been too cold to paint outdoors for most of the winter, but temperatures got to near the freezing mark last week and Judith was able to bundle up and paint this image of a neighbor’s barn.
The snow making its way down off the roof and the sense of the hay emerging in the foreground capture the seasonal thaw.

Over the last two months, Judith and Ben have been spending a great deal of time together in the studio creating this life size portrait. Judith paints her subjects from life, not using photographs. Its an amazing process to be part of, though seldom do people get the chance to “sit” for a portrait these days.
Much of the time posing was aided by listening to the audio book of Treasure Island. I like how the articles of the costume seem only to objectify where the imagination has led.
The portrait pays homage to Manet, whose image of the fife player can be seen in the open book on the floor.

These hills and valleys are difficult land for farming. Hay is the major crop. The positioning of the building on the hills gives a sense of straddling a hump. My mind goes to the thousands of miles that have been walked up the slopes back to the farm house, the clouds passing by like an occupying army.
