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 Cedar Waxwing


Cedar Waxwing

Sold 

9" x 12"
I painted this using a photo from Rodney Campbell and pictures of the field behind my house. The background was the biggest challenge. I worked real hard on color harmony and light movement. I tried to relate all the colors you see in the bird into the background. I am pretty happy with the results. Thanks for viewing my Cedar Waxwing and a special thanks to Rodney for posting so many wonderful photos on PaintMyPhoto.
