Lighting Challenge

On a visit to my parents, I went in the back yard and did a little painting of my Mother's flowers. It was a challenge because the sun kept going in and out of the clouds: sunny, cloudy, sunny, cloudy...

The second painting was done in a race against the disappearing light in the woods. Beautiful plumes of pink in amongst the green surroundings.
Both: 6" x 8", oil on canvas board

Lake and Ridge

Phanton Lake in east Bellevue, covered in Lillies.





Ridge, rocks, and trees--there was a beautiful strawberry colored hue through the tall yellow grass--amazing. I've never seen anything like it. So, had to paint it.
