Through the Woods

12 x 16 oil on panel

Another cover-up - nothing much else to say about this one--still attempting landscapes occasionally.

Experimental Landscape

8 x 10 oil on stretched canvas

This was an old landscape that I never did really like so I played around with the palette knife today and like it much better.

Experimenting.....

8 x 10 oil on canvas panel

Just experimenting today with some new grays and greens I bought recently.

Shadows

6 x 6 oil on canvas panel

With the temperatures in the 20's, I have just stayed home and painted these little canvasses the last few days--can't stand cold weather!!!   

Forest Path

 18 x 24 oil on stretched canvas

I have been working on this one for several days - and was way out of my comfort zone with both the subject matter and the size.  I do not like painting landscapes but am determined to get the "feel of it".  I probably shouldn't have even posted as I am sure I will see plenty that needs changing and I am sure this one hasn't seen it's last stroke.  Many times I will see obvious errors once I post that I didn't see prior to that.   I learned a lot on this one, mainly that I need a LOT of work on trees!

Trace Trees

12 x 16 oil on stretched canvas

This is a painting I started last year, hated and recently re-worked.  I have never been confident with trees and landscapes so I have been working on those lately.  Hopefully, I will get the "hang of it" soon. There are several very good artists whose work I review in my attempt to improve.  This was a photo I took on the Natchez Trace last winter.  The snarled looking branches are what attracted me to them.
