Gallery wrapped canvas.

We had come back from a glorious holiday with phenomenal scenery.  Then we take our special pooch for a walk early in the morning and the light coming through the trees caught my eye.  So you can see which scene I painted.

I am back.  We've been galavanting around the country and collecting ideas and images.  I did this painting shortly after returning from one of those ventures.

Now I am getting ready for a studio tour  September 13th  10am to 5pm.

This is another in my tree series.  These trees have their own personality and history. Lots of stories to tell.  Maybe I should do one that reflects the elders.

My last post was of this painting.  As I watched it in different light it appeared too dark for me so out came the palette knives and more texture and colour was added.  I like this better.

There is more variety in the values in this one.

Spring is my favourite season.  Life comes anew.  Small buds show their strength so quickly. The life and energy of the season is inspiring.

This was a challenge.  I do believe I painted it 4 times.  It started out mostly black and white with blue grey sky and grey ground.  My sensibilities just couldn't live with that so each day more and more color appeared.  Then when I had the house to myself (who knows why that made a difference) I decided to get out the palette knives, put out a full slate of colors and away I went.  The walls stayed the same but everything else livened up. The trees in the painting are not as purple as they appear here.

Happy Painting.
