Colors of Fall

An 11x14, Oil. Enjoyed the color in this one. Based on a photo by Suzanne Wallick on Paint My Photo site. I achieved that rough bark look using a palette knife. Always fun to do. The fall leaves I did with a couple of different small sized brushes. The color washes in the foreground and distance came about with use of linseed oil to thin the paint out a little to soften the look.  Thanks for looking.

James 1:19-20
"My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires."

Fallen Maple

An 8x8, Oil, A little painting celebrating the Fall season. Based on a photo from Paint My Photo site by Sue. Love the colors. Doing some simple compositions. Less stress! More therapeutic! Thanks for looking.

Psalm 130:3-4
"If you, Lord, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness, so that we can, with reverence, serve you."

Peaches in Bowl

An 11x14, Oil based on a photograph by Lillian Bell from Paint My Photo site. This painting took much longer than expected. I kept allowing some of the peaches look too giant, the table edges going to nowhere, etc, etc.... Anyway, I'm glad to put this one away! Love the layers of color on the peaches. Thanks for looking!

Philippians 2:14
"Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation."
