Another "Dreaming of Summer" mini - SOLD
It just seems like it's never going to get warm out again. A couple of days ago it was 70 degrees and now, and throughout the rest of the week it's supposed to be cold and gloomy again. Here is a little piece I did this afternoon. 5x7 on Uart bonded to gatorboard.

Almost Spring UPDATED
After much work and a better photo, here is Almost Spring. Inspired by a couple of photos I took in Old Forge, NY. It is 14"x18" on Ampersand pastelbord. I painted something similar in my 30/30 series and loved it. So I wanted a much larger version.

30 in 30 for $30 - #25 Green Barn at Holland Farm - SOLD
This is a beautiful old barn here in Jasper, TN. Unfortunately, I heard they are going to destroy this whole area to put up more useless buildings and pavement, when just down the road stands empty buildings and existing useable property. My heart is saddened by this criminal destruction of our beautiful land.

30 in 30 for $30 - #23 - An Out West Autumn
I've painted this scene a half a dozen times and have loved each one. The reason I painted it this time is because I'm teaching a workshop this weekend for the Benton County Library and this is what we will be painting... a nice simple little scene.
I had the opportunity to purchase all the supplies that the students will use and I chose 18 different colors of Mount Visions, so therefore, this painting is the result of the 18 different colors. It just needs a few finishing touches and it will be done. 5x7 on Ampersand Pastelbord.

8"x20" Dreaming of Summer
In my 30/30 series, I painted a much smaller version of this. This one is 8"x20" on Uart. Dreaming of summer because there is still snow on the ground and it has been, what seems to be, the longest winter.

I love the reference photo of this. It's one that I will paint again and again! As a matter of face, probably by next week I'll do a larger version of this. This one is 5x7 on Uart.

30 in 30 for $30 - #19 Forest Edge - SOLD
Hi all, #19 was inspired by a photo I took in the Adirondack Mountains a couple of autumns ago, but I didn't want to paint an autumn scene so the trees are green instead of oranges. I also wanted to paint a slanted format again because I just really like that type of composition. Tried for a bit more realism in this one. Wanted to viewer to look into the woods and see deep into the shadows.

30 in 30 for $30 - #18 Autumn Field
Yesterday it was summer and today it's autumn... go figure :-)
I painted a larger version of this several years ago and never forgot it. I was driving along in Upstate NY and happened to turn my head at the right time to see this scene. It was an overcast day with high clouds, so nothing was very bright, and it was cool, about 48 degrees.

This is an actually place down the road from where I live.
