Rubescent Pastures I,II, III

A panoramic view of a prairie landscape where I grew up.  The house I was raised in is towards the left and I would walk (still do) across this field to the secret section of land. (see previous post). It was not planned to do a panoramic view-the thought came to me as I started the second panel. Last summer, the crop was more red due to a dry season and as the sun was setting, it really accentuated the warmth coming across the land.

A Touch of Autumn

One of my favourite paintings thus far.  It truly is because I often walk these fields.  In the clearing between the trees is a hidden section of land where I dream about building a house there.  It is hidden and surrounded by trees.  Very private and beautiful.

Sunflower

Oh this was a challenge to paint.  I find yellows, regardless of the medium one of the most difficult to depict form and volume.  The center part, however, was a lot of fun to create.  I love sunflowers and of course will want to paint more in the future too.

Cherry Sensation

I had painted these last year but with a different colour background.  I was not too happy with how they looked and changed the colour which I prefer.  The warm undertones from the previous background come through.  I really enjoyed the challenge of painting cherries and have done some thumbnail sketches for some larger paintings.  If only we would get some sunshine out here so that I can photograph.

Dynamic Landscapes

These were fun to do.  The actual photo was an autumn scene against a blue sky.  I really did not feel like copying verbatim the colours in the photo so I decided to challenge myself to use the same composition but come up with a different colour schemes.  I started off with a monochromatic one and the colours went from there.

Pears

These two were painted from life.  What I really about painting from life is the challenge of seeing the different colours.  If I had used a photograph, I would have missed the subtle colours  that were interacting with each other.  I am learning how to photograph paintings.  I am sorry to say but the actual paintings are brighter.  I will get there on uploading better pictures.

Freckles-smaller

I have been away from blogging for a couple of months due to a death.  It was difficult to concentrate and focus on my art.  I however, am slowly bouncing back.  Last month, I started painting again to try to get 10 new paintings to display at the Second Cup on Ellerslie-which I hung ten of them today.

Last summer, I went to a historical site where they kept farm animals.  This little cow came up to me and posed.  I am slowly branching outwards with my paintings from still life to landscapes and now I have painted some animals.  Since I normally work from photos with my coloured pencils and other drawing mediums, I prefer to paint from life.  Cows however would not stay still.  I do like their personality and their gentle spirits.
