Fence Left in the Pond

Apparently this scene involved a pasture with a fence before the pond was built. I loved that the fence posts carried the viewer into the picture. It added another dimension to the composition.

5x7's once again

Painting a small painting each day results in several outcomes.  I have more paintings--but that is not the most important.  It is an opportunity to experiment with color, composition, and brush work. I figure that in 4 months I will have over 100 5x7's and will have learned a lot.  Sometimes I learn what works and I also learn what not to do.  Win/win both ways!

This painting is the second in the series of figures whose faces seem to emerge from a group of abstract shapes.  I've always liked painting people and this series is a chance

for me to experiment with color, shapes, and volume.

Taking photos of black and white areas together does not always work well for me!
