Old and Abandoned

Oil Landscape Painting Forest Barn Shed Building Trees

Oil on stretched canvas, 10" x 8"

It's fun to explore the rural country backroads here in Arkansas and Oklahoma and come upon old relics like this one.  This shack was photographed on a bright autumn day and I'd always planned to paint it.

Patch of Peonies

Oil Painting Still Life Art Flowers Garden

Oil on canvas, 10" x 8"

Yay for old-fashioned Peonies! Our painting class has been arranging and painting flowers recently. Some dramatic dark peonies were paired with pink ones in the arrangement I chose. These were a great starting point before painting the white ones I painted at a later date.

Fallswoods

Oil Landscape Painting Forest Woodland Nature Hiking Creek

Oil on stretched canvas, 11" x 14"

This was a very attractive scene to me and I was excited to catch some of the feeling of it in paint.  The water was rushing through a heavily wooded area and the sun was lighting up the background through the trees.  I enjoyed painting the big rocks too but they were a challenge.
