Winter’s Tree

This painting is a work in progress. As the trees are growing leaves around me I am getting around to a winter tree image I have had in mind for a while!

This is a 16″x16″ acrylic painting.

Here is a collection I have finally put the finishing touches on! The small ones are 10″x10″ and the larger ones are 16″x16″. Always interesting to group paintings together and see how they get along.

Rolling Along

I am growing fond of working on paintings that are 16″x16″, a great size. It allows you enough room for brush freedom and loose work while being small enough that it is easy to manage.

This painting is still a work in progress.

Fields (WIP)

This is a piece that is currently drying. The sky is very soft but the foreground has an interesting dappled texture because the paint beaded up as it started to dry. Odd result but kind of interesting… I’m always excited by unusual paint behavior!

Tunnel then Jubilation

I live in a beautiful rural setting. I love the wildlife and privacy, but like everything good, I take it for granted.

Rolling along my eyes looking away from the world and into my own dark brain. Something brings the light back, this “forest tunnel” is the kind of thing I have grown blind to. Then in the evening with the headlights on… what could make me happier.
