I never tire of trying to capture the Beauty of Light. This milestone of 500 paintings posted on my blog is a challenge I will definitely continue. My next goal is 750! Thanks to God for the inspiration, the skill, and the ability to still paint the Beauty of His Creation!!!
Even though we have not had any snow this year , I reworked an old painting that was a summer creek. It is fun to look back at old paintings that failed miserably and bring them to life again.
Frequently, in Virginia seasons collide. However, I have never had a commission for a painting that represents all 4 seasons. This was a bit of a challenge but starting at bottom right... summer is represented by the flat bottom boat turned upside down in the green weeds. Fall continues up the painting in the orange trees; winter is at the top of the hill in the snow around the house and spring is blooming at the bottom right in the butterfly bush. Thanks, Aaron, for the commission. You truly have an original painting!!
This is a painting I did after seeing a Jed Dorsey video. I love life long learning and I am always interested in how others accomplish their magic on canvas. This "sun burst" technique is fun and creates an incredible glow in the background. It's always about the Light!!!
