Christmas Glow

About a week ago, I wanted to get out and get some reference pics of christmas light decorations, but that just didn't happen.  Yesterday, I still had the inspiration inside me, so I thought I would just create a composition of the lights.  I used a pic I took one morning when I was dropping my oldest son off at school.  I didn't know why I snapped the photo that morning, and I am so glad I didn't delete it like I was thinking on doing.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Winter has Arrived

Sunday was the first day of winter.  It would be nice to see a 'little' snow, but the forecast is showing snow for New Years Eve.  I guess we'll have to see how that goes.  In the meantime, I will continue to paint scenes of snow from memory.  I admit I actually like to paint from my imagination rather than from a photo reference.  There is such freedom in the creation.

In the Big South Fork ~ Midnight Clear

I love nocturnes.  Painting night scenes is a rewarding challenge.  This little tree grows between the big boulders along the Big South Fork River.  Out of place, yet securely belongs.  If I were a tree, this would be me.

Eagle Falls

One of my favorite landscape elements to paint is water.  Waterfalls are especially fun!  This is Eagle Falls located @ Cumberland Falls State Park

November Rain

As I drive around town, I like to take photos to use as reference for my paintings.  On Nov 5th, I took a little video along Ky 741 in Revelo.  You can see it here.  The video is not the best quality, but it did allow me enough info to paint this one.

Peace

I was driving by the Stearns Cemetary the other day and saw this little scene.  Something told me, "go back".  I turned the car around and went back to take a photo, but the light I had seen was gone.  I am so thankful for my memory and ability to paint, cause sometimes...the camera just cannot capture what I see.
