Colors of Winter

Lots and Lots and Lots of snow.  The Seattle area hasn't had this much snow since 1946.  So here is a painting inspired by the little tree on the side of our yard.  I decided it would be fun to place him in the woods.  The abstract shapes formed by the snow on his branches are what really fascinated me.

Close to Home

Inspired by a picture of a beautiful sunset taken while riding the ferry home the other day.  Now  I'm snowed in it's a good time to catch up on some things. Thinking I will do a little more detailing on the Lighthouse. There's been a major discussion on whether it should have a black or gold frame.  Whoever buys it can decide which they prefer.

Garden Show

 Redid something inspired by the 2009 NW Garden Show. Like it much better with the lights enhanced.

Morning flight

 Playing with poured paint and needed a subject.  With some highlighting and a few splatters the background became wave in a sunrise.  So added some butterflies for the  subject.

Already few to an exhibit to replace "Rainy Day" which sold.
