Mountain Bloom (completed)

Mountain Bloom – 18” x 2;”, acrylic painting

I revisited this piece and did a bit more layering. Some additional painting to the forest shore and it is now complete. I always strive to keep my work loose without overworking.

I am preparing to start on another vertical painting. Difficult to focus with all of the beautiful weather!

Blinding beauty as inspiration. For anyone keeping track, this is the 5th painting in my 24” x 24” collection. One more to come!

October (surprise?)

October – 12” x 16”, acrylic painting

This painting never felt fully realized. I put an afternoon of painting into this piece. I added some subtle opaque touches. I introduce more warm muted reds and some additional clouds.
