Continuing with the revisions, until I can get some new canvas, maybe today.

This is what it looked like before:

This is the original version, below:

Again, I made the sky and the water bluer, and added more greens to the foreground.
I also added more foliage to the pine trees.
Richer now, I think.

Below is the original. I like the revisions.

I changed the color of the sky and water, and added more greens overall.
Better now, I think. More complex and interesting.

Also, apologies to anyone who received the SPAM that went out yesterday from my group address.
Some nasty hacker was messing with me and all my groups and contacts.
I don't think it will effect anyone else's email.

I love this little one, with it's bright blue sky and shading trees, and a red roofed farmhouse.

Revised on March 2, 2013.

I've seen a Robin, so Spring is on the way!
Lots more bird song in the woods behind my apartment, nice, and a few warmer days. That's not much comfort to folks who are still buried in deep piles of snow, but we'll get there.

Filtered Sunlight

Filtered Sunlight
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
Available.

A recurring theme, I do love painting paths and trails going through woods. I think this one turned out nicely, though in general I feel like I'm in a bit of a slump. It happens, you just paint through it, though a workshop or a new book, or maybe buying a painting video may help give me some new oomph.

Shaded Shoreline - SOLD

Shaded Shoreline

The further shore is actually straight in the painting. I know it looks crooked here, but it's just in the photography, not the painting.

Hydrangeas in Acrylics

Nothing makes a floral pop like a deep, dark background. This one isn't really black, but a mix of dark green and deep purple. Fun to paint.
