Just scrolling back on the blog and comparing this year to last year, its been a lot of location paintings without too many abstract or World Inspired Landscapes, or anything else for that matter. Each year I try to have a general goal, but nothing crossed my mind for this year other than keep on painting. For this painting, its an abstract 'palette cleanser' where I was trying to clean off the old palette that broke the other day on location, shattered actually, probably due to the temperature. But I got a good five years out of the palette, the fellow at the shop, Pierre from Avenue des Arts thought an ABS plastic palette would be better but they are too big and the wind blows them around on location. So I just bought a new palette for the summer time and will clear off the old one. Boring details aside, the painting was called 'Eye Storm' because I was going to call it 'Eye Store' like a play on the Apple I store, or the term 'Eye Sore', but with the snow storm I came up with Eye Storm. Like a storm of art in your eye.
