Autumn Afternoon

Autumn Afternoon 8x10 oil

I started this painting last year and it was halfway done, but as fall turned into winter I lost interest in it and it went into the section of unfinished paintings. This past week I came across it while moving things around and put it out where I could see it.
This morning I was awake at 5:00am went out put the coffee on and put the painting on the easel and brought it to completion.
I like the warm afternoon light and the subtle shadows from the oak tree in the front yard.

After the Blizzard

This is the view looking out the kitchen window. The storm has passed and now the sun shines brightly throwing shadows on the snow.

One morning I was out painting and this little guy peacefully fed while I painted. I slowly pulled out my camera and got some pictures without disturbing him. It was like he felt at ease being in the shadow area.

Autumn Shadows

This was painted on location. What caught my eye was the color of the leaves laying at the base of the tree and the pattern of the shadows from the unseen trees. When I got home I touched up shadows and added the bright leaves that were caught in the sun spots. I remember I was the only one there that day. You can sense the peacefulness of the place.
