Update

 

I have neglected my blog for ages, but hope to throw a few more updates on here in the coming months. Painting wise - I had a good summer in the studio.  Below is a piece I am slowly working on.  Struggling with some mid-and back ground issues, but having fallen in love with the foreground I can't give it up.   

Cold Weather Inspiration

16 x 16 Oil on Canvas - High Level at -35

16 x 16 Oil on Canvas - Winter Morning Spark

 These two pieces were done during our recent 'cold' snap.  We had a beautiful, sunny day with wicked cold temperatures.  It was -35 but with the windchill it was closer to -45 and being out on the pedestrian bridge over the river taking photos was rather chilly!  But the beautiful shadows and light were almost worth it.

The paintings were both done on black gessoed canvas with oil paint.
