Wheat field

Acrylic and oil on canvas paper 12" x 16"
Simple, yet effective and satisfying. I can't decide if I should paint a bright, detailed wheat stalk in the forefront, or leave it as is. For now I will leave it.

Rogue River Bridge

Oil on Paper 12" x 6"
I painted this from a picture I took in Grants Pass Oregon by the Rogue River. I painted this in stages, over a very long period of time - first the sky, then the background trees, then the water, then the bridge, then the reflections, then the highlights on the bridge. I suppose I could have added more detail to the reflection, but I was afraid to screw it up! I like it!

Mountain Retreat

I
Thought I would give Bob Ross another go. I like this style for making mountains, but not for clouds and other foreground details. It's okay, I guess.

Mountain falls

12" x 16". Acrylic on paper

Mountain splendor

Oil on paper 16" x 20"
Another Bob Ross style painting.

Cinder cone crater

Oil on paper 12" x 16"
I painted this from a photo I saw on the Internet. It needs work defining distance and light, but I don't know how to improve it.

Lake Island

oil on canvas 16"x20"
This was painted from a photo I took one day while jogging along the lake.

Summer Lake

Oil on canvas paper 16"x20"
Doesn't this look peaceful and relaxing? Like a summer hideaway, that's got my name written all over it!

Winters End

Oil on Canvas Paper 12"x16"
I did this painting based on an exercise meant for watercolors, but as I haven't yet mastered watercolors (or really found the desire to do so), I did it with oils. I like it, but there's something missing - there must be something I can do to make it zing, but I can't figure it out.

Fly a kite

I did this one first:

I liked it, alot, so decided to do it again, only bigger:

I can't decide which one I like better; still practicing!
