New Father

This is a painting I did for my nephew as a Christmas present.  He is a new father.   I forgot to take a shot of it before I framed and wrapped it.  So I took the photo after he un-wrapped it. Needless to say, the photo isn't the best.  But, most of my photos do not truly represent the paintings.  It was painted on a 12x12 stretched canvas.

Backyard Marsh

Yesterday I decided to paint the marsh again, but a different view.  And I tried something different.  I used just three colors and white.  The colors I used were cadmium yellow pale, grumbacher red, and french ultramarine.  I was sorta pleased with the result but I wonder if a different red or blue might have given better results.  It was painted on a 9x12 canvas panel.

Sequoia in Fall

Sunday I went back to paint the Sequoia at the Botanical Gardens.  I love that tree!  Most of the deciduous foliage has disappeared.   Winter is coming!  I'm not looking forward to it.  I may go back in the Spring and paint it again!  it was painted on a 9x12 canvas board.
