Upstate New York winter paintings

 30"x 40" oil/linen

30"x 40" oil/linen

2 new pieces done from images captured during the New York state trip. The sun only showed itself a few times so I wanted to do some larger bright pieces back in studio. This is the winter that won't quit in the northeast USA. These paintings will be refreshing during the summer shows when the temps approach 100 F!

different mindsets and perceptions

14"x12" oil/panel

As my mind altering cold fades I find the energy to at least tweak 2 pieces that I felt needed changes. The top is a piece that is a Gruppe study. The bottom is from 2 posts ago. I couldn't stand that dark value in the water. Somehow I saw like that when painting but thankfully I see it differently now!

The Tin Man

11"x14" oil

I could use some oil. Haven't painted in a few days and feel rusty. It's snowing cats and dogs and silver dollars. This scene was from last weeks excursion. It's the splitting of a creek. The right branch reads too dark in photo. It's the warm side being sunlit, the left branch is cool edged but sunlit down the middle. I ramble........... Should do this abstracted and only focus on temperature. Off to stare at the snow.................

hip hip HOORAY!!!

40"x30" oil/linen

We finally received an inch of snow and it made the landscape beautiful. By afternoon not a whole bunch left but this  was the view from dads driveway. I paint this place alot. The only good thing about a bad economy is the developers haven't moved in yet. Fingers crossed. It's snowing right now and is quite nice to look at. just another inch or so. Keeping things white yet negotiable.
