Reflections – WIP3

Reflections – 24 x 24 – Acrylic on Wood I’ve been working some more on the leaves of this tree, watching the play of light in and amongst them. It’s one of those fall days that still holds some warmth, although the low clouds promise rain. I step outside and the wonderful colours I’m using [...]

Reflections – WIP2

Reflections – 24 x 24 – Acrylic on Wood More of these wonderful colours as I continue to work on the leaves. I’m looking forward to working on the lake – I’ll get to use some wonderful slates and greys and other surprises like pink and salmon. (At least I think so – who knows [...]

Reflections – WIP1

Reflections – 24 x 24 – Acrylic on Wood I love the more somber fall colours – the ochres, slates and muted reds and purples of  later in the season. Less flamboyant, but still so rich with variety…

Sunrise WIP4

Winter Sunrise – 16 x 16 – Acrylic on Wood – Reserved for Mayberry Fine Art I love those crisp winter mornings when the snow crunches underfoot and the sun is a distant reminder of warmth…

Kaleidoscope – Done!

Kaleidoscope – 30 x 60 – Acrylic on Wood – Reserved for Mayberry Fine Art Well I’m done. My biggest painting ever! (So far ) I love the colours on this one and the way they move up the painting. And the overall movement in the painting is fun too. Nothing is ever really still [...]

Kaleidoscope WIP12

Kaleidoscope – 30 x 60 – Acrylic on Wood – Reserved for Mayberry Fine Art Ooh I’m at the top! The warm sun has really made a difference here. Lots more oranges and yellows – there’s more energy up here too. Things are much quieter on the forest floor…

Kaleidoscope WIP11

Kaleidoscope – 30 x 60 – Acrylic on Wood – Reserved for Mayberry Fine Art The sun and sky are interacting with the branches and leaves now. There’s a lot more movement and energy up here too.
