Red Barn in Winter

 
 
Painted from a scene on our property just after a snowfall,
of the red barn and outbuilding against a stand of fir trees and maples.
There is a small creek which is frozen now which runs behind the buildings.
A lone fir tree stands in the foreground .

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.
 
8" x 6" oil on canvas panel
