"Chicago in Winter" 9"x12" oil on stretched canvas. I love to paint crowds of people. I focused on shapes edges and negative areas. I really had a difficult time getting a decent digital image of this. I think it looks better in person.

Winter Landscape Snow December Woods Painting

"First Snow"
This is what I woke up to this morning. Our first snow of the season. The kids were pretty excited. It wasn't a "snow day" but their buses were running late. Painting snow can be tricky especially in the woods. You dont want to get too busy with details yet capture the delicate branches and somber grays.

"Crows in Golden Wheat" 6"x6" oil on masonite. The autumn trees and fields were golden especially in the sunlight. The contrast of the black crows was breathtaking. Of course anytime I see crows feasting in the fields I immediately think of Van Gogh or Tipi Hedron in Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds"

"Calm before the Storm" We had left the Grand Canyon and were heading towards Colorado. Seeing the Southwest for the first time is hard to put in words. You see the land in pictures but not until you see everything in person are you really amazed. I grew up around corn and soybean fields. I am used to seeing storms roll in but nothing like this. The formations and elevations made me feel like I had landed on another planet. I have always loved Edgar Payne's amazing paintings of the west, now I see his inspiration first hand. This is one of just a few large pieces posted on this blog it is 11"x14" on Raymar canvas board. click on "southwest" label below to see similar paintings
