Grinnell lake, Glacier Park, Montana

My next painting of Grinnell lake on a 20 x 16 inch stretched canvas in oil. I did this painting in about 5 colors and is a continuing theme of mine to use tonalism to highlight one particular focal point in the painting. I think the painting came out great and will try to sell it on Ebay, although I know it will not sale. Anyways, I am very familiar with Grinnell lake, having climbed every peak surrounding it and I have pretty much hiked this entire valley multiple times. It is a great area, but loaded with Grizzley bears. Thanks for looking!

Rays of Autumn

My new painting is based on a theme I have used previously and that is basically working with neutral colors (grays) and add an intense focal point in one color, in this case orange. For me, I really believe this is a style I can be successful at and plan on doing another painting using the similar technique. In any event, fall is the best time to paint in my opinion due to all the intense colors. This is an oil based painting done on a 16 x 20 inch stretched cotton canvas. I will be posting this painting on Ebay for $75.00 and if it does not sale, I will try Etsy.

Next Painting...September 2010

I am back from my hiatus. Normally, I paint very little in the summer as it is always difficult to be stuck down in my basement when it is so nice outside. Now, however, I am back to the easel and have completed my next painting entitled "Rays of Autumn". I plan on posting this painting this week sometime and next week it will be available on Ebay for purchase.
