Autumn Sunrise, Whitetail Deer 11x14 Acrylic on canvas
This was painted from reference photos I took one morning at the park.
The post from November 17 shows the reference photos I shot.
In the photos from that day you can see the trees had dropped most of their leaves, but I was interested in capturing the lighting effects at sunrise that morning.
I stayed with the original idea of putting a deer crossing the field highlighted with sunlight.
My first thought was to put a deer in the field highlighted with sunlight.

Winter Landscape
Whitetail Deer, Heading for Cover 11x14 oil
We haven't had much snow here in southeast Pa this year except for a few quick storms that dropped 1 to 2 inches and most of it melted by the afternoon. I felt like painting a winter scene while I'm still in a winter mood. I had started this painting a while ago and it sat around waiting for another winter for me to get motivated to finish it.
The little snow events we did have this year got me out on walks and sparked that interest in painting snow. I have two other snow paintings I'm working on that should be finished soon.

Sunday Morning at Valley Forge Park
This is the sketch, I finished the rest of it at home. I wanted to capture the lighting conditions at the time when it just starts to get light out. I ran out of time because the light changes faster than I can paint.
The sun started to peek over the horizon.
The tree I was painting with a little sun on it.
We got in the truck and and started looking for scenes to photograph, and came upon this guy, he was curious.
He did a nice job of posing for us.
Here was a photographer walking away with a big buck walking behind him
A spot of color along one of the trails.
My brother Phil photographing some scenery.
Spent three hours at the park and captured some good images, not a bad way to start the morning.
