Spring's Dawn

"Spring's Dawn"

About This Painting:
Painted this one from memory. Used thick, loose, impressionistic brush strokes -- too much fun.

I see this old oak tree often, as we drive into town. Once all the vegetation grows in thickly again, the water will become very hard to see. But right now it can look so blue it seems fake. The dark branches just add to the effect. So I thought I would try to capture it in a painting.

Tears

"Tears"

About This Painting:
For my Daily Painters 'out of the box' theme on Wed. Definitely something out of my comfort zone!

I have been working on this for a few weeks. It wasn't intended to be a self portrait, but I did use myself as a starting point, then I thinned out the eyebrows and plumped up the lips. I used thin layers of interesting color combinations, like orange and violet, or light blue in the shadows. I really like the colors.

Ready to frame.

I will Always Love You, Rose

About This Painting:
Thinking of the song. I wanted to use the rain to symbolize tears and sorrow, and of course, a red rose is symbolic for love. I think it works.

Mama's Girl, Cow with calf

"Mama's Girl"

About This Painting:
I really like the strong temperature contrasts: the cool blues tones against the warm browns. I wanted to keep the loose brush strokes so it would have an impressionistic look, yet I wanted it to be realistic too. It is hard to get both affects. I think I was successful.

The breeding is an Italian breed, called Romagnola. This is Joshua Mixon's new calf, and I used his photograph, by permission, to paint her.

The painting continues on the sides so framing is optional.

Media: acrylic on canvas

Sunny Skies, landscape, ocean

"Sunny Skies"

Sold

About This Painting:
Palette knife painting. Alla prima, or all at once, which makes for nice interactions with the paint. It also adds lots of texture. But I was mostly interested in the color contrast. Palette knife painting has to be my favorite way to paint these days. Keeps things unpredictable, and exciting. the painting becomes more about the paint and the color than it does about the subject.

Valley Floor, Mountain stream

"Valley Floor"

About This Painting:
Started this painting from a demonstration. Then I went back and moved some things around. I was just playing around, got carried away with the rocky cliff and the rocky creek.

I remember the water feeling like ice in Montana. Can't even put my toes in it now when I go back to visit, I can't imagine how we swam in it when we were kids! My friends and I would dam up an area with rocks, taking the ones from where we wanted it deeper, and moving them onto the dam. Had to choose a good spot for it: where the water was already close to knee-deep. We would get the water up to chest high or so within an hour or two, but we had to get out and warm up from time to time.

So many of us are going through hard times these days. I was thinking about the valleys of life. Sometimes you find good things in the valley too.
