Tower in the Sky

“Tower in the Sky”

Oil on Board, 8”x10”

This is a painting of a local Methodist church tower that I see many times in many different light situations, and the green patina against the sky is just so beautiful! It gives me a feeling of serenity. I was advised to get rid of the traffic light, but I just feel it is a part of the picture.

I did a bird series back in the fall, and didn’t post most of them so I’ll do it now. Most of the birds, maybe all of them, were begun with a raw umber underpainting where I nail down my values. (Lights and darks.) Thanks for looking! I’m beginning a landscape series and will post those later. 

 

“Peony & Hydrangeas”

I painted this in 2016 but it bothered me…until I cropped it to an 8” x 8” painting. Now I love it! 

 

Back to Italy

“Back to Italy”

Oil on Canvas, 8”x6”

We’ve been back long enough to recover from jet lag. Is my door crooked? I guess I can fix that. What a place Venice was, and we took in 2 days of the Venice Biennale. I love how the grid on the left window is light, and on the right window is dark. More cool door fronts to come.

 

Little Lamb

Such a sweet thing.

Tomato on White

I took a break from watching news of the virus to paint this innocent little tomato.

“On the Columbia River, Oregon”

There is nothing as calming as being on a gently rocking boat and looking out 

over still water to a distant Oregon landscape!
