Late Afternoon on the Rez

8 x 10 oil on canvas panel

Another painting of the scene I see everyday by my home.  I love to see it,  especially in the late afternoon, with all the colors of the setting sun glowing through the trees and on the water!

Reservoir Re-Do - 1st pass

 12 x 16 oil on stretched canvas

This is another take on a painting I completed in a workshop back in November.  I thought I would try again (solo).  I still have fine tuning to do with water and lawn but am almost there.  This is for a charity auction next month in Jackson.

Madison Landing

12 x 16 oil on linen - SOLD

This family was out watching boats come in at the landing near our house.  It wasn't a very sunny afternoon but it was one of the first pleasant days we have had in a while.   The canvas I used had accidentally gotten folded over and there is a vertical crease in it almost in the center of the painting.  Hopefully it will stretch out if I decide to do anything with this one.

Docked at Phillips

6 x 6 oil on canvas panel

I finally got back with my painting group today after being away for several weeks.  I really get inspired there but I am SO rusty.  I just haven't been in the groove lately for painting and I have had many wipe offs!   I finally decided to just keep going with this one.  It needs a little more work and I see, after photographing, that I must have scratched the surface on the lower left some how so it will have to be repaired.

Reservoir at Sunset

 8 x 10 oil on canvas panel

This is a scene I see almost everyday as it's just a block from my house.  I love to see the sun set over the reservoir.  Some days the colors are spectacular!   I'm not much of a landscape painter as it is very difficult for me to edit all the things my eye beholds so I end up laboring over every little detail.   This one was starting to get a little muddy so I decided to quit.   I just like the mood of it.
