Rising Above the Crest

"Rising Above the Crest" 5" x 5" Oil on hardboard

The moon rose above the crest of a little hill. Dotted it like an "i."  It was one of those peaceful evenings when the comings and goings of the stellar orbs was about I wanted to watch.  

My sky paintings are getting smaller.  No reason for it, I just enjoy the five inch panels, too.

Colorado Creek

"Colorado Creek" 6" x 6" Oil on canvas panel

I saw the glisten of water from a distance and pulled over to photograph it. It turned out to be a small creek but had some charming curves to her banks, foreground weeds and a steep hill of pines on one side. The hazy hill in the distance probably didn't even have a name, but it captured my attention, nonetheless.

I love to paint water in a landscape. It's seldom the same from one painting to the next in hue, value or texture.  Like sky it changes with the day.

Thank you for visiting.
