Winter Dreams

This  hot August day seems  like a good time to post a wintry landscape scene.Just looking at it lowers the temperature about 10 degrees. I really don’t want snow just a little breeze and less humidity.  I think  I did not leave my house today; it is the same as residents of Buffalo must feel in January! This painting is a good practice of using neutrals though- the bright red is the only use of pure color.

Fall in Line

This time of year I tend to change the colors I use to the colors associated with autumn. Although some of the flower shapes may stay similar to the ones I make in  spring and summer paintings; it is  amazing what a game changer color can make in a painting. It can change the whole mood and temperature.

Getaway Car

This is a painting that I reworked from one that I just wasn’t happy with. There wasn’t anything really wrong with it; it jst didn’t have much life in it. I figured there was not much I could lose  by trying something different. This method usually results in something good because it gives me permission to be loose which usually results in a better painting.
