Today's Paintings 6.12.09


Creek in Autumn II
Original 24" x 36" x 0.75" painting
Golden, Liquitex, and Chroma acrylics on gallery-wrapped canvas




Stormy Day on the Farm
Original 30" x 40" x 0.75" painting
Golden, Liquitex, and Chroma acrylics on gallery-wrapped canvas

Today's work includes a new edition in the Creek in Autumn series, as well as a new landscape composition. The Creek in Autumn piece is a new variation on a previous composition. The previous painting in this series was purchased by a patron who stated that I had captured the essence of her property without ever having seen it, which was very gratifying.

With Stormy Day I wanted to capture the soft, bright tones the landscape takes on during one of those cloudy, rainy days.
