Kaleidoscope – 30 x 60 – Acrylic on Wood – Reserved for Mayberry Fine Art And a little more… I’m starting to show some of the background trees and shrubs now. There are some lighter spots where the sun manages to punch through, but overall it is still really dark and shaded.

Summer, Lake of Bays – 18 x 24 Acrylic on Wood – Commission I have completed the forest now – yay! I’m very pleased with the way the trees fade back into the distance and yet don’t lose their exuberance. A very quiet sky is to come…
