A New Day  24 x 36

I took a break from working on the little studio boards and completed a couple of large paintings. This one was actually the inspiration for one of the studio miniatures. After  laying in the design, I saw it as a tonal painting, so I completed the small one "Winter Fog."  I'll get back to doing more studio miniatures later this spring.

Here's another large one:

Evening Song  30 x 30

Both are available at Elder Gallery in Charlotte, North Carolina.   www.Elderart.com

#9 Winter Fog - from the studio - literally

Winter Fog  5 1/4" x 7 7/8" done on a 3/4" pine block from the studio renovation. It's a challenge painting on this surface, trying to use the bumps and scratches on the natural wood, instead of the usual sterile perfect surfaces of prepared canvas and panels. This painting reflects my response to the misty weather we have had recently here in Marshville. I love the warm browns of the late fall and the serene grays of a foggy morning.
