One of the things that I do is to review previous work after it's had some time to retreat from memory. This week I spent some time looking through older plein air works, mostly from several years ago. These are studies rather than finished paintings. That is, they're fodder for studio works to come and as such haven't been displayed before.

Another from the same month is "Out Back," which features the two trees but omits the spruce. The dappled light, varied leaf shapes and myriad greens were the attraction.
Though neither of these works can be called a complete painting, they each serve as painted memory.
