Lonely Tree




I love to paint with a palette knife! The texture is so beautiful. and the palette knife is so much fun to use. I'm liking oil paints more and more. 'Lonely Tree' is a memory of a view out of our condo window in Colorado. I also love the mountains.

FALL HILLS


'Fall Hills'


I had fun doing this piece. It was the first time that I worked on a small painting with a palette knife. Most of my paintings are in watercolor. I have painted with acrylics in the last couple of months using a brush. 'Fall Hills' is in oil which was totally new to me. I really like the way that oils can be worked. Size 6" X 6"
