I am very pleased with this one. It does have the foggy mood I was hoping for.
With just those sweet touches of color.

Remnants - SOLD

Remnants
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
SOLD at $23 plus $7 shipping.

This is how today felt. Overcast with subtle greys and browns, but a few scattered clinging colors here and there. I was going to call this one "Cling-Ons" but figured I'd save that for one that was even more grey and brownish.

The Field Beyond 3 - SOLD

The Field Beyond 3
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
SOLD.

This will be the last in the small series of "Field Beyond." For this one, I painted the sky last night in acrylics, and the foreground was underpainted with pink-orange gesso. I think it's my favorite of the series, so it's time to stop, and try something else. Kind of fun, though, to work in a series like this.

Leafy Path - NA

Leafy Path
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
Gifted.

An interesting little exercise, yesterday, today and probably tomorrow as well. I am using the same photo reference, some spot in Massachusetts, near Barre (I think near the dam) and changing up the backgrounds or techniques. This one looks completely different than yesterday's, but if you look at both, you can see the underlying bones of the reference. I am happy with both.

The Field Beyond - SOLD

The Field Beyond
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
SOLD.

Ahh, I like this one. I had gessoed the canvas orange, and painted this one really loose. There are little bits of the orange showing through here and there. I think it has a nice "mood" to it.

Moss Pond, Revised - SOLD

Moss Pond, Revised
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
SOLD at $20 plus $7 shipping.

This one is a revision of the Moss Pond painting I did last week. I brightened the sky to show the deep blues of autumn skies, punched up the trees, and repainted the water. Better, I think.
