Turquoise Skiff in the Mist (Oil on Panel)

I have been working on this painting off and on for the past couple of months.  I think I finally got it to a point that I can live with.  I have worked with similar image in the past, but prefer the misty version. This little painting was done on an ampersand hardbord panel measuring 10" x 8".

Early Morning Mist

This painting was created from a photo taken by my sister, Kathryn, a couple of years ago and have wanted to do something with it for some time. I think she may be surprised.  Following is a link to her website which is still under construction.  One of these days we will get beyond the home page.

Tranquility

As I try to get back into painting I thought I would work with an older image that I attempted in the past.  Long ago I did a square version of this misty landscape.  The scanner picked up more orange than I see when looking at this in natural light.  I may need to go back in and change a couple of things.  I worked on an ampersand hardbord panel measuring 10" x 8".

Fall Sunlight on the Rappahannock (Oil on Panel)

I originally saw a version of this photo as a horizontal and had printed it out and was planning on painting it at some point. When my sister, Kathryn, posted the cropped version it definitely reminded me that I still wanted to do something with the image. So this is something I finished rather quickly a week ago. I liked each stage as I went along. That's usually a good sign. I guess the image has all the right elements going for it including the dramatic lights and darks.

This oil on panel measures 12" x 12".

Boat with Turquoise Trim (Oil on Panel)

Well it's about time I posted a new painting. I have been working on four paintings. One is a disaster and I don't think it will ever be solved. I may just have to sand it off and start over . This painting, however, was created from an award-winning photo shot by my sister, Kathryn. I hope the painting lives up to the photo. This is painted on a cradled panel that measures 16" x 24".

Fall Reflection (Oil Painting on Panel)

Well I have started painting again and I obviously decided to work with a pretty abstract image. I don't think I am done, but I thought I would put this up to have something new on the page for a change. This is taken from another one of my sister's wonderful photos. It is painted on a gessoed ampersand hardbord panel which measures 8" x 10".

Oil on Canvas  (40" x 36")

I worked on this painting this past summer and felt like it was never finished.  I like the darker shadows in the bottom image.  One of these days I may go back in and work on the shadows in the top image.  We shall see.
