Original Oil Painting Snow Truck


Snow Truck

Sold

12" x 12"
Painted on gessobord. 

This is a painting I made using video instructions from Richard Robinson. The video was an early Christmas gift to myself. I posted the photo I painted from below. The goal of the assignment was to paint a spot light affect hitting the main focus of the painting. Richard's painting was very powerful so I thought I would give it a try. I added a frozen puddle to the foreground to point the viewer's eye to go behind the truck and notice the path to the field. It does take some attention away from the truck hence weakens the spot light affect but I feel it adds to the composition. I think the compromise was worth it.

Original Oil Painting First Snow


First Snow

Sold

12" x 12"
Painted on gessobord.

I am trying out an online coursed from Richard Robinson. My goal is to become more expressive and looser in my landscape paintings.In this painting I am trying to convey a very old tree and fence that have seen better days. The old tree still has a few fall leaves hanging on, so hopefully the tree will hang on for many years to come. I hope you like my first Richard Robinson's assignment. I have three more to do.

Original Oil Painting Fenced Out


Fenced Out

Sold

9" x 12"
Painted on gessobord.

This is a fun little painting. I like how the fence frames the house in the distance. At first I was going to call it "Fenced In " but the more I looked at it I felt the opposite. Here is the first signs of winter with a little of snow creeping in under the fence. As we all know winter is coming and there is no stopping it.
