Sun through the trees in the fall

I made some changes to this maple painting to get the effect of the sun shining through the trees. I think it's better but wonder whether it would work as two paintings.

Red and Pink Roses in a vase

I started this painting when the roses were just finished blooming. Played around with it to try to make an interesting painting since the roses have long gone.

Crabapple

Here is some colour for an otherwise blah day! Crabapples in detail!

Sun through the trees

Worked at Christie Conservation Area yesterday while there was a highschool crosscountry run going on around me. Kept me from feeling lonely. Workked on it again last night. Will post the revised edition later. This maple had all it's limbs reaching toward the East, and some leaf left along the bottom. The Fall colours are wonderful!

White Pine -Christie Conservation Area

Went out painting this afternoon and finished just before the rain started. White pines can develop so much visual character when they age. This one is a very good example of that kind of tree. There is still some work to do on this little painting.

Path to the water

Last Wednesday it was very windy and this spot gave some protection but still had a view of the water. Had a struggle with the path that went down to the water to get it to go down! Will have to tackle many more on this theme.

Middletown Road Corn

This was a quick study and close up of the tangled corn and resident grasses done in an hour of speedy brushstrokes.
