I'll have an order of alla prima please

                ("Three stages of life" 15"x15" )
   After spending the summer painting en plein air  in other people's gardens, I decided it was time to paint something from my own so I cut some stargazer lilies and brought them indoors to test drive a new north light facing space. The lighting was so different and the pallette still the colors I use for outdoor landscape painting that I found the results facinating and educational. Not a show stopping study in oil but an effort of worth all the same. -G.A. exchanging my current supply for a "new box of crayons" for studio work... and maybe nixing the north light idea.
