The Pond 2012

Went up to paint yesterday, got up late clocks spring

ahead. It was 26° when I got over the mountain sun was out.

Painted the little pond surrounded by frost covered grass.

Birds were singing Spring is coming. Enjoy! Ed

How light in a room effects a painting

I want to start posting paintings when they are

hanging in a room. The different light effects

that happen during the time of day is amazing

on how it effects the colors in a painting. A

painting is a living thing in its environment.

"Yes I might start chanting". Enjoy! Ed

Finished Painting

Here is the finished painting on the wall at my

brothers house. Time to start another one.

Enjoy-Ed

The Fallen Tree oil on linen 24"x20"

Painting still on going I need to step back and

maybe kick up the color on the river or cover it

with snow and show some ice reflecting. Maybe a

wolf or deer will step out of the brush. You never

know. Enjoy! Ed

The Fallen Tree

My biggest memory of winter this year was when

a surprise storm hit us in fall 2011.

It took the northeast weeks to recover trees and

branches were down everywhere. To commemorate

this event I started painting "The Fallen Tree".

I stopped painting several weeks and now its time

to get back in to it. Enjoy! Ed

last weeks sketch

It was around 24˚ and still no wind. Frost on the

grasses. Stayed for a while to finish this sketch looking

down from the hill. I needed coffee that morning.

Enjoy ! -Ed
