Snow Landscape daily oil painting Yellow House


"Yellow House"

6"x6" oil on masonite. I painted this view through my window today. I would liked to have painted outside today but the high is only 14 degrees. Maybe it will reach a "balmy" 34 degrees soon.

Children with Dog Impressionism Painting

6"x6" oil on masonite.

Our pup is not this little anymore, but she still can't wait for the kids to get home. This is from a late summer afternoon, when the grass was green and lush, there was a hint of fall in the air. The sun dappled the lawn through our crabapple tree. When I looked at the photo that inspired this painting, I thought of one of my favorites, John Singer Sargent and how he would paint figures outside. I would like to try this on a bigger scale sometime.

Winter Snow Landscape painting a day impressionism




6"x6" oil on masonite. -sold




I just realized after posting this, that my last two posts and this look related. Sometimes you dive in and when your painting journey ends you step back and see the relationship from one painting to another, not just the hues but the feeling! It would be fun to see these 3 hung in a grouping.

Dairy Barn Winter painting a day



-sold
"Dairy Barn in Winter" 6"x6" oil on masonite. A cold overcast day really brought the colors out of the red barns and dead grasses. I am curious of its fate, another dairy barn right across the road from this one sold its land to a housing development. I am guessing this one may be doing the same soon. I hate to see these open fields get closed in.
