The only thing constant is change

. . . so I decided to paint a few landscapes instead of portraits.





I think I'll do a few more.  I'm going to work on loosening up my style a bit more, too.

Today our sky here in southwestern Wisconsin is hazy and smelly from the smoke of a huge fire in the gorgeous Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness of Northern Minnesota.  It amazes me that we can smell the smoke over 500 miles away.  (You can read about it here and here, if you're interested.)

My heart goes out to all the people and creatures who are impacted by the many wildfires around the country and the world.
