Pomme Hillside

This is a 6x8 oil, painted on a Raymar panel. I love this surface to paint on. I painted this from a photo that I took at the Pomme de Terre area. The cedars are so pretty down there and a few trees were just beginning to turn in the early fall. I did this several days ago but I have to wait for these oils to dry before laying them on the scanner. This one is $150.00 unframed or $200.00 framed in a gold plein air frame.

"Taco" the Ref

This is another drawing that my son, Kirk, did of another one of his referee buddies. I think he has one or two more to go. I just had to show it off.

Green Tree Study

I'm still playing with those greens. As you notice, I have underpainted my boards with different reds and tried not to cover them all and hopefully letting them peak through in all areas of the painting. Fun stuff! I like this one better without the cattle. Some days I end up wiping off more than I leave on the board but these just seemed to fall together in no time. In fact, I did this one and the last fall scene one Saturday afternoon. It is painted on a Raymar panel and it is also framed in a soft gold plein air frame and is $500.00.

Cattle in Green Landscape

Last week I posted a small 8x10 green landscape and my son wanted it so before he took it I was still playing around with greens and wanted to play some more. I put some little cows in it as my family always wants me to put some "life" in my paintings. I like the ones better without them. I put this one in a soft gold plein air frame and it is $450.00.

Fall at Pomme de Terre

I have finally gotten my oils dry so I can blog them. I have trouble taking photos of oils so this one didn't come out so good but here it is. It is an 11x14 oil on a Fredrix linen board. I painted this from a photo I took last fall at this beautiful lake. I have it set in a wide deep gold frame with a linen liner and it is $500.00, framed.

Resting Cows

This is just a small 9x12 oil on a wrap around canvas that I put on the scanner even though it was too big so it is cropped some and it came out too dark. I will try photographing it later and maybe get a better picture of it. It is just a quick little painting, playing with greens some more. I have three more to photograph because they are too large to put on the scanner. They are 11x14 and I will do this as soon as I can get to it. Right now I have a large family Easter dinner to get ready for.
