Oil on Wood Panel, 12" x 12"
SOLD at $40 plus $10 shipping.



Since I seem to wind up doing this one every winter, I might as well go ahead and make it a "tradition." And paint it again next year too. I just love the winter colors, if not the cold. I am counting, 15 more weeks until Spring.

Trees in the Snow - SOLD

Trees in the Snow
Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas, 12" x 12" x 1.5"
SOLD at $50 plus $10 shipping.



A bit of an abstract approach to some trees seen thru snow falling.
Which results in some haze, and faded trunk colors. Nice, isn't it?

This one is Gallery Wrapped, and is painted all around, top, sides and bottom.
No need for framing, ready to hang.

...and a second, like unto it, is this:

Thinking Lilacs - SOLD

Thinking Lilacs
Oil on Wood Panel, 6" x 8"
SOLD at $20 plus $10 shipping.



For my delightful cousin B, I did a painting of "beauty berries" recently. Ever heard of these berries? No, I hadn't either. See below for how the painting came out (now that it's been given as a gift, I can show it here.) Anyway, I had a lot of colors mixed, and the piles of paint reminded me of Spring, hence some abstract lilacs. Done with a palette knife.

These are the berries:

Three D'Anjou Pears - Gifted

Oil on Wood Panel, 6" x 8"
Gifted

I took some artistic license with this one, and reduced the size of the first pear on the left. It's actually the size of a mango. In fact, when I first saw it, I thought it was a mango. These guys are so pretty, there may be just one more painting in them. A few dings, which can be hidden in paint, but good, I think, for one more day.

Walking downtown today, the in-town maples had turned, and I noticed leaves that were almost neon in their brightness. Gorgeous colors! Like the red-oranges here, so vivid. Other varieties were less flashy, but lovely yellows and browns. Don't you love the fall colors? We are actually almost done here, between the rain and the cold. BUT ....only 5 months until Spring!
