Fresh Off The Easel

I wanted to share with you some of this month’s efforts. And when I say “effort,” I mean this with all sincerity! I have wiped off at least three, ha!

This painting, “Fallow,” is one of my favorites. The sky is what drew me to the scene, but the suggestion of the farm is dear to my heart. Having been raised on a farm, I have such good memories of those growing up years.

This next piece, “Meandering,” is the second I have painted from a meadow north of Mullen, Nebraska. It reminds me of gentleness, the way the water moves through the scene.

I’ll share one more -it is titled “Weightless.” I have painted this scene before, too…..I came back to it because of the atmosphere. The ethereal quality of this painting somehow reminds me of the connection of heaven and earth. Soli Deo Gloria. This piece is part of a collection I am painting for a display at Blue Hills at Round Top, Texas March 23-April 6, 2019. More on that later!
