Today's Paintings 3/17/09


Boulder County Farm II
Original 30" x 40" x 0.75" painting

Still Life with Red Wall
Original 24" x 30" x 0.75" painting

Today's work includes a composition that I have not used in quite some time. Boulder County Farm II was inspired by the rural settings in eastern Boulder County, Colorado. The second piece is a floral still life, which my patrons really love. I find that depicting the glass and floral arrangements are challenging and fun to paint.
