27. Glow

12x16 oil on canvas board

I painted this on canvas that I mounted onto board.  It was a very nice surface to paint on!  I was really looking at the composition on this one, trying to control the eye as it moves through the painting.  Then I was working to get the idea of the light emanating from behind the tree.  It really does seem to glow!

26. Morning Glow

SOLD

12x7 oil on canvas board

I like the way the format changes the composition and the emphasis of the painting.  My eye lingers in the shadow more in this format.  Compare this painting to 23 - same subject, bu a different composition.

25. The Moon, in all it's Splendor

SOLD

16x16, oil on canvas

This is a bit larger than most of the paintings that I have been working on lately:  16" x 16" and is on stretched canvas rather than canvas board.  The canvas is very fine.  I really worked in the composition on this one, and tried to keep it loose.

24. Stand of Trees

12x12 oil on canvas board

I realize now that this composition is a lot like the one that I did yesterday.....I was interested in painting trees.  

23. Afternoon Light

12"x12" oil on canvas board

I decided that I would paint whatever I wanted to paint today - not worrying about upcoming shows, or what I need to get ready for a gallery, or whatever...  So I just painted today for me, and it was great!

SOLD
