Snow at the Seacoast

 

Occasionally it snows on the Oregon beaches.

A white blanket covers the coast,

where the mountains and fir trees meet the sandy beaches,

and sea grass pokes up through the snow.

Such a lovely sight...

After the Storm

 

Painted for DPW's storm challenge.

I particularly like the layers of detail in the landscape,

and the wonderful after-the-storm light

in the challenge photo​.

A small surprise was the house hidden in the trees.

White Rose Edged in Pink

 

 

 

Another rose painted for DPW's "Another Rose" challenge.

I've always found this kind of rose very pretty and interesting,

but a challenge to paint. 

Just to switch things up a bit, I used a brush

but mostly a palette knife to achieve the impasto look in the rose,

and the scraped look in the background.

Faded Old Glory

 

 

Painted for DPW Old Glory challenge.

When traveling around the US I often saw flags painted on barns.

Some were fresh and new and others as faded

as the old barns they were painted on.

I have long wanted to paint one, and this challenge gave me the opportunity.

I chose the fading flag and old barn

because it reminds me of the long standing patriotism of the country.
