COTTONWOODS & COLOR

"Cottonwoods & Color"   Oil   14" X 18"

I'm constantly experimenting with new colors in my pallet. I've recently switched from using Alizarin Crimson to Rose Madder and I've introduced Cobalt Blue Pale to my pallet. I really had a good time painting this composition and focusing on the unique tree shapes.

Drying The Wings

"Drying The Wings"   10" X 12"  Oil

The morning light on this Goose was too hard to pass up. I had a lot of fun finding the colors in the shadows and creating the luminous effect in the wings. Reflective color and light play an essential part in these paintings and these Geese are proving to be an endless source of inspiration.

This one has been on the easel too long. I was really happy to complete this one. I started the drawings for this last year. I had a blast testing out various textures and color harmonies.
