First Snow Countryside Landscape Original Oil Painting

We have only had one snowfall so far and that was before Thanksgiving.  We have been enjoying the warm weather, especially knowing it wont stick around.  Fortunately I took a few pictures of our first snowfall.  This mighty old tree stood strong in the cold and wind.  I should know this, I think this tree is a sycamore not an oak, but I could be wrong.  It was kind of scrubby, looked like it had a rough beginning many years ago for it had a few restarts shooting up from the ground.

I painted this at the beginning of the year.  We have had a very mild winter so far, only one snowfall.  That is okay, winter weather will be here soon enough.  Looking forward to painting the snow.

The Magic of Christmas for Child Original Oil Painting

"The Magic of Christmas"

6x6"

I didn't realize before having children that when you do there is immense joy in seeing Christmas through there eyes.  Such a gift!

We always decorate the tree together and as the kids get older we reminisce over the ornaments we have accumulated over the years.  When we are finally finished finding the perfect spot on the tree  (or at this point any open spot left) we sit back and turn the room lights off and enjoy the sparkling tree remembering years past and of loved ones near and far.

God Bless you and yours this Christmas Season.

Cows Grazing in Clusters Farm Life Original Oil Painting

"Clusters"

2015

oil on panel 

6x6"

The cows were like dots on the field.  I tried to keep their shapes simplified.  I liked how the dappled sunlight through the clouds highlighted their lovely hides.  The greens in the field are a much brighter yellow green than they appear on my laptop.  The colors look right on my cell phone.  To get a good digital image can drive one nuts since this blog is viewed in different ways.  My laptop is old and outdated so hopefully you are seeing a truer version on your electronics.

If you haven't noticed, I added the year 2009 to my Gallery Sale.  Now there are many more paintings available for a special price of $85.  This price includes postage in the U.S.  purchase informaton can be found at the right side of this blog.
