Mistified

"Mistified" 6" x 6" Oil on hardboard

It was morning, warmer than I thought, and hazier than it had been in a while. I saw the lovely aerial perspective and documented it before it vanished. 

The photo was taken in October in a state park near where I live, before  Miss Autumn had her colorful way with the leaves.

Closer ... Still

"Closer ... Still" 8" x 10" Oil on hardboard

When I finished the first painting, the light had changed and I moved closer to the pond, cropping out many of the golden weeds.  I focused on the purples in the landscape and enjoyed the stillness of the beautiful summer morning. 

This was a thirty-minute painting. It doesn't have the detail my paintings in the style of Andrew Orr have, but it looked finished to me, so I stopped.
