A Stand of Pines,  8x10, oil on canvas

I pass these pine trees on my way to the park, the road they are on has no area to pull over so I had to get a shot on my phone as I passed by on the way home. I was attracted to the contrast of the bright clouds and snow against the darks of the pine trees. The hard part was trying to make the pines look like a group without overdoing it.

Farmhouse and Fields 6"x8" acrylic on wood panel

I like the peaceful feeling of this painting, a subdued winter sunset and a warm fire in the fireplace.
