Here it's the bare tree at right: a single dark vertical that anchors the foreground, splits the field from the tree line, and gives the eye somewhere to land before the orange hill takes over completely. And that hill. Even before the final alizarin glaze, it's already close to combustion — a wall of heat pressing down on the muted field below. The contrast between that intensity and the cool grays above it is what keeps the painting from tipping into pure sensation. The sky earns its quiet. The foreground is deliberately unresolved — flecks of teal, raw marks, paint thinking out loud. It's not description. It's rhythm. The barn sits back in the middle distance almost apologetically, which is exactly right. This painting isn't about the barn. One more glaze to go. The orange will glow. Then we'll see if it's done. SunDown Farm II 48 x 36 Inches https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fd3e3637c5811ee1bd870a/1d3326ad-b97b-4e4e-a647-428194fb4be2/IMG_8095+%281%29.jpeg Thoughts on Today's Work - Wednesday 4/29/2026 - One True Corner 33 x 66 Inches Feeling vs. Explanation: A Hard-Won Balance Some paintings give themselves to you. This one didn't. The struggle was always the same: how much do I explain, and how much do I trust the feeling? Hard edges at the barn pull the eye into clarity. The foreground — grasses, shrubs, fence lines, field passages — pushes back with abstraction and aggression. Getting those two registers to coexist without one apologizing for the other took more sessions than I care to count. The extreme width of the canvas was the central challenge. The large tree at left acts as the bow of the boat, splitting the eye right or left before the barn corner pulls it into a counter-clockwise rotation — hill, distant mountain, warm field, layered foreground, back to the tree. Around and around, but never stuck. The blue-violet roof against the burnt orange hill is where the palette declares itself. Two quiet notes that keep this from being a picture of a farm — and make it a place instead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fd3e3637c5811ee1bd870a/103a6213-86a5-4bc0-b534-d1de15a15b2c/IMG_8093.jpeg Thoughts on Today's Work - Wednesday 4/29/2026 - Make it stand out This one is about depth that keeps changing its mind. NEAR AND FAR, 36 X 54 iNCHES The eye moves in, then pulls back. The foreground trees push toward you — those blue-violet trunks are practically in your lap — while the pink-lit trees behind them step back, then back again toward the hill. The dirt road curves right and slides toward the river, which opens the whole right side into light and distance. Then the near bank pulls you back to earth. In and out. Near and far. The painting earns its width by never letting you settle. The tree placement is doing all the structural work — each trunk a different distance, a different color temperature, a different weight. The river isn't the subject so much as the release valve: every inward push eventually exhales into that cool horizontal band of water. What held this together in the end was resisting the urge to resolve it. The push and pull is the painting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fd3e3637c5811ee1bd870a/49e72573-e174-4bf7-9c90-d498ee119ab3/IMG_8094.jpeg Thoughts on Today's Work - Wednesday 4/29/2026 Water doesn't hold still, and neither does this painting. The cascade moves on a hard diagonal — upper left to lower right — and the dark rock masses on either side are what give it velocity. Without that weight, the white water would just be white paint. With it, it falls. The final session added two things: a bit more chaos along the cascade edge — dark drawing marks and bronzy red-orange worked into the small stones — and reflected orange and red pulled onto the water's surface. That second decision is the one that matters most. It connects the fall to the burning forest above it, making the whole painting one thermal event rather than a landscape with a waterfall in it. The palette throughout is fire and shadow. The water is the only thing moving through both. http://www.andybraitman.com/blog/2026/4/27/monday-427 monthly 0.5 2026-04-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fd3e3637c5811ee1bd870a/27095ff2-6825-43a4-b1d7-46fa7e469e3f/IMG_8090.jpeg Thoughts on Today's Work - Monday 4/27 The white tree and its cast shadow are the subject. Everything else exists to support that read. The trunk needs more luminosity, cooler lights playing against warmer darks, and the shadow needs to become a full compositional event rather than just a mark on the ground. That shadow travels across the foreground and I want it to do real work. The pair of trees on the left is meant to function as a pivot point — a place where the eye arrives and then has a choice: break left and move deep, or swing right along the shadow toward the barn and beyond. For that to work, the two trees need to read both as individuals and as a group. Right now they're a cluster. The goal is a hinge. The barn roof gets a few strokes of sky-reflected cool light. Nothing dramatic — just enough to pull the eye all the way back into the depth of field, which is considerable in this scene. The fence line needs to earn its place by moving the eye laterally and then deep. Once it's doing that job, I can quiet it down so it reads as rhythm rather than inventory. And the whole painting needs to come up in key. The foreground field is absorbing too much light. As the other elements brighten, that should begin to resolve — but some warmer, higher-key strokes through the middle-distance grass will help lift the painting and give the white tree's shadow the contrast it needs to matter. The middle field behind the barn need to brighten as it spills over onto the foreground on the left side https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fd3e3637c5811ee1bd870a/99b43d46-2031-42e1-891b-26bc6b764ea1/IMG_8089.jpeg Thoughts on Today's Work - Monday 4/27 At the Turn 36 x 54 inches http://www.andybraitman.com/blog/2026/4/24/ycsmz08zoxqg7x6y4rjyeehgork0kr monthly 0.5 2026-04-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fd3e3637c5811ee1bd870a/e18d44a4-9da6-4683-bd29-a2c3813f71d6/IMG_8074.jpeg Thoughts on Today's Work - Today in the studio: I worked on 3 canvases and with Meredith’s assistance we prepared 3 more canvases for the upcoming abstract floral workshop. May 5 -7. River's Turn is genuinely beautiful — and I've named the problem exactly right. Pretty has a gravity all its own. When the color relationships are this harmonious — warm salmon ground, cool blue water echoing the trunks, pink trees distributed like punctuation across the middle distance — the painting becomes self-protective. It won't let you break it. Every mark that might introduce tension feels like vandalism against something already working aesthetically. The result is a painting that explains its season, its light, its mood — completely and pleasantly. The viewer receives it rather than experiences it. The pendulum landed hard on explanation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fd3e3637c5811ee1bd870a/62decfd5-d522-4666-b025-11d933c1dbc4/IMG_8061+%282%29.jpeg Thoughts on Today's Work - Today in the studio: I worked on 3 canvases and with Meredith’s assistance we prepared 3 more canvases for the upcoming abstract floral workshop. May 5 -7. This is where I started today. My eye goes directly to the center of the cascade and completley bipasses the foreground. With the addition of the smaller stones, see how we work our way to the middle of the cascade instead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fd3e3637c5811ee1bd870a/0c3f9c2e-a59d-4e59-b96c-56ba9b0b5b1f/IMG_8076.jpeg Thoughts on Today's Work - Today in the studio: I worked on 3 canvases and with Meredith’s assistance we prepared 3 more canvases for the upcoming abstract floral workshop. May 5 -7. In the first image the water is a highway — the eye gets on and drives straight to the middle, no stops. The foreground ledge plane is just a ramp delivering you there. In the second, the added stone shapes break the flow into intervals. The cascade now has rhythm rather than speed — pauses, redirections, a sense that the water is negotiating its way down rather than simply falling. The eye has reasons to linger. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fd3e3637c5811ee1bd870a/e3c6b0e7-86c9-4e86-913a-65388583b94b/IMG_8082.jpeg Thoughts on Today's Work - Today in the studio: I worked on 3 canvases and with Meredith’s assistance we prepared 3 more canvases for the upcoming abstract floral workshop.

The unfinished left side was difficult for me to leave and let the corner do its job.. But it is done so I did. The cast shadow from the implied canopy on the barn is the bomb for me.

It took all of the front right chaos to balance the explanation of the structures on the left. I want the real theme of this to be the red hill. It is a pure cad orange with a glaze of alizarin crimson ovet the dry orange. I have one more glaze on the left side of the hill to sign this one too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fd3e3637c5811ee1bd870a/53da28e3-86be-4d88-8fa0-a0829e57119a/IMG_7984.jpeg Thoughts on Today's Work - Wednesday 4/22/2026 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fd3e3637c5811ee1bd870a/4a303c68-37b7-448d-95d2-67b686eaca63/IMG_8055.jpeg Thoughts on Today's Work - Wednesday 4/22/2026 I felt the sky needed to be a greater influence to provide a distance to the piece.

Enclosed, intimate, the rocks holding the water like a channel carved over centuries. Intimate without being quiet. But finishing a painting starts a question. Here: what does the water want to say that I haven't let it say? Chaos. Noise. Force. The next one pushes harder — hotter palette, darker rocks, the surrounding world compressed so the water has somewhere to explode into. And before that one is even resolved, I already feel the pull toward another. More compression. More silence in the stones so the release can be louder. This is how a series starts. Not with a plan. With an appetite the last painting created. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fd3e3637c5811ee1bd870a/1495a669-bdee-41c9-b453-740479e98859/IMG_7950.jpeg Thoughts on Today's Work - Friday 4/10/2026 - Untitled 36 x 54 inches I may have finished this painting today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fd3e3637c5811ee1bd870a/258c1a11-1525-473e-b0be-b0e07251769b/IMG_7955.jpeg Thoughts on Today's Work - Friday 4/10/2026 - 48 x 36 (The Eye Wants to Travel) working title This painting tries to deny it — holding the farmhouse cool and quiet so the eye keeps moving toward that hill. Cadmium Orange Pure, glazed with Alizarin Crimson. It doesn't reflect light. It holds it. The next one I'll push harder. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fd3e3637c5811ee1bd870a/0b13efca-16fe-4b01-b97d-15209c812c5d/IMG_7939.jpeg Thoughts on Today's Work - Friday 4/10/2026 - The turn of the river 36 x 54 inches Work in Progress The road's perspective needs to commit. The trunks need to own the ground before they earn their branches. And the willows at the water's edge need to stop decorating and start directing. The bones are there. Now it's about discipline. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fd3e3637c5811ee1bd870a/904590d4-422f-41ea-a1be-1165ce8ce433/IMG_7960+%281%29.jpg Thoughts on Today's Work - Friday 4/10/2026 - 33 x 66 inches One Corner The more I sit with this one, the clearer it becomes. One corner of that structure — white against the golden hill, light catching the edge — that's the painting. Everything else exists to deliver you there and hold you when you arrive.
