03/12/08 - I recently entered this painting in an art contest. I should know if I won anything in late April. Wish me luck!

Free At Last

So, here it finally is. I've been working on this painting since November 2006. It's 3'x3' oil on canvas. It is one of the monster commissioned pieces that I've been working on lately, so it is not for sale since it already has a home.

To date, this is the largest landscape painting that I've completed. Unlike most of the smaller paintings that I've been posting and selling on this blog, this painting was completed with the use of reference photos, a practice from which I've been trying to minimalize. Working from life is best, but sometimes you just can't manage it. This cypress grove is just off the interstate outside of Conway, and painting from the shoulder of the road just wasn't an option.

Hot and Dry

Oil on cradled panel, 9"x12," $100.

August Hickory

Oil on stretched canvas, 18" x 24," $500.

Haze and Hickories

Oil on cradled panel, 8" x 10", SOLD.

The Ozarks

Watercolor on paper, approximately 5"x7," SOLD.

Cedar Grove, Winter Snow

Oil on cradled maple panel, 9"x12," SOLD.

The first picture's colors are a bit muted in an attempt to show a less glaringly white image of the snow. The color of the trees is much more accurate in the second picture.
