Storm Sweepin' Through

Here on the prairie we get some pretty interesting weather patterns sweeping through. But this is not from today… or yesterday. It's sleeting here, the leaves are gone and very little is still green… or gold.  We're down to sticks.  

However, I just tonight signed up for a six day trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico to paint at Georgia O'Keeffe's Ghost Ranch in February. I'm so excited I can hardly sit still. HUGE ROSES are in my future again!  I'm starting one tonight.  A gal has to be … prepared :-)

Weather On the Way

It rolled in as quietly as most clouds do, but this one managed to bring with it, some wind, rain and hail. Probably the same stuff that wore down the rigid peaks from the hills on my painting. 

I'm enjoying a series of hillsides and clouds while I work on larger pieces.

Storm Moving In

The crops were harvested; corn in the cribs, hay in the mow and the fields were ready to be blanketed for winter.  Rest was in order for everyone involved in feeding the masses for another season. 

It's not a sunrise or a sunset this time. I sort of even surprised myself!

Storm Over the Pond

"Storm Over the Pond"
6" x 6"
Oil on hardboard panel

The sky wore a convincing look of winter as it rolled across Wisconsin's farmland, despite the balminess of the actual temperature.  


I toned the board with burnt umber.  Which means, I rubbed the white with a warm brown, then wiped it off.  You can see it through the clouds, in the water, and trees.  I love this look in landscapes. It unifies everything painted on top of it.

This painting is for purchase on Dailypaintworks.com.

Thank you for looking in today.
