Deep Shade

Morning dusted light across the exposed tips of the newly unfurled rose. Her petticoat, however,  remained nestled in the deep shade of the leafy bush. 

I'm still in rose mode, also enjoying holding a brush again. And my fingertips aren't black with blending  chalky pastel pigments.

Hillside Trees

"Hillside Trees"

Oil on canvas panel

Imagine, if you will, what this hill would be like in, say, February.  As I paint it, it goes through a phase of February-ishness.  The trees are barren sticks, an armature for the final form. Then I dapple on the leaves and voila, a change of season, and another cutie pie in my little landscape series.
