Cattle-scape

"Cattle-scape"
5" x 7"
Oil on hardboard

Unlikely subject matter — cattle — for a rose painter.  But I enjoyed it. When people see things as they travel, they send me photos.  I like to challenge myself to capture the essence of what was in their hearts as they thought of me. In this one, it was probably the texture and color, so different from that of my zip code. 

Thank you to everyone who sends photos to me. I will eventually use them. I do appreciate your kindness and efforts.

Forty Degrees

"Forty Degrees"
5" x 7"
Oil on hardboard

Somewhere in the northwest it was forty degrees today. The snow had melted, last year's weeds added texture to the foreground and the sky over the hills shared its color with a body of water. 

Soon our snow will be gone, especially if it warms up to forty degrees.
