March Paintings......

 

The last 2 paintings....the top one is a companion to the previous sky piece. Also, I always like to get in a painting of the last snow patch before March is done.

Trout Pond, Overcast

 

.... a little sanctuary near the village, public land with 2 trout ponds, forests, hills, and streams,....I enjoyed all my time there through the years. Acrylic collage painting on archival paper 9.5 x 13.75 inches, image size 7.75 x 10.25 inches.

These collages often start with one piece of paper, or sometimes 2 colours together that start to create a mood that was pervasive at the site. In this case, those 2 piece were the grey of the sky and the not quite fully dark green/black of the trees. I was hoping from the start that I wouldn't need to cover up too much of the grey, and am glad I was able to keep most of it. You never really know what will remain in the picture. In the attempt to get everything working together in a beautiful balance, anything might have to be sacrificed....

Evening Sky, August 27

A little subtheme has been these sky paintings, usually from notations made in the evenings

Sky Painting

As usual, the paintings have continued at about the rate of 1 per day this summer. Here, a little sky painting done from a very brief line sketch and memory....experimenting with some shadowbox framing.

Fast Sky, July 9

8" x 10" acrylic on gessoed masonite panel. Listed on Etsy. I painted 5 of these cloud works in a row, over a number of days, but today's painting was a collage painting, treated in a different way again...so this series may or may not continue. Storms came and went today, and the temperature has cooled down again. The skies change dramatically from minute to minute.
