Part of this painting was done in a class and I finished it in my studio. I used a limited palette of Black and White with touches of Red in the mixture. The painting was fun and hard to do. It measures 16"x12 and with the frame it measures 15"x19". This is what you call a value painting and a limited palette.

"Whispering Tree, Golden Field" is a captivating 9x12 oil painting on a canvas panel that invites viewers into a serene landscape. The centerpiece of this artwork is a majestic, leafy tree, its rich green and brown hues creating a striking contrast against the golden-yellow field it resides in. The substantial shadow cast by the tree adds depth and realism, while the field’s sunlit, dry grass suggests the warmth of a perfect day.
In the distance, gentle hills blend seamlessly into a serene blue sky, punctuated by scattered white clouds. The expressive brushwork captures the natural essence and interplay of light, enhancing the landscape's tranquil atmosphere. This piece beautifully encapsulates a moment of quietude and natural beauty, making it a timeless addition to any collection.

I painted this painting from under a bridge in Colorado. I could hear the water rushing and see all the splashing. It was wonderful. I loved see the Aspin trees so bright and yellows. The painting hangs in our home. It measures 9"x12" and is framed and signed. I have the greatest memories of painting out there with the OPS group.

I'm excited to share my latest painting, "Serenade of Small Boats." This 11x14 oil on canvas panel captures three small boats floating gently on a calm body of water. The reflections and the serene waterfront setting create a tranquil ambiance, enhanced by a palette of cooler tones with red, white, and blue hues. This artwork was inspired by a photograph I was given, and it was a unique journey to bring that image to life. I hope this piece brings a sense of peace and tranquility to those who view it.

The artwork is a landscape painting, executed in a style that captures the mood of a serene natural setting. The color palette is dominated by cool tones, suggesting it might be set either in the early twilight hours or under a shaded canopy near water.
A prominent tree on the left side of the painting, with its dark trunk and foliage, is striking against a background of more muted, blended tones of green and blue, indicating the presence of further vegetation and possibly a body of water. The reflection and subtle ripples on the body of water enhance its sense of tranquility and depth.
On the right side of the canvas, there are swatches of color that give the impression of a painter's palette. These swatches include shades of blue, white, red, and mixes of other colors—possibly serving as a test for the colors used in the painting or as a visual element adding to the overall composition. The presence of these color tests creates a contrast between the artistic process and the finished depiction of the natural scene.
