Two on a Summer Afternoon

I painted these two on a warm June afternoon, trying to capture that unique summer sunlight. Notice the thunderhead peeking up over the trees in the top one. It turned into one of those intense summer storms with hail. You know, the ones that show up as a red blob on weather.com's satellite image.

The top image is 12" x 9" and the bottom is 6" x 6", oil on archival panel. If you are interested in purchasing either, email me or go to my Daily Paintworks gallery (see icon at top of this page).

Winter Evening, oil on paper

A fascination with shadows on snow. This trees and creek are in a woodland park up over the mountain, past the vineyard. This is the kind of park that you frequently have to yourself, especially in deep snow.

Winter Morning, watercolor

We're lucky to have a farm behind our house. The fields are beautiful in the winter (especially the sledding hills). These are the shadows of our trees on the farm field in the morning when the shadows are very long. I looked out our bedroom window early one Saturday morning and saw the long shadows, grabbed my camera and trudged out in my bathrobe and boots.
