Winter Inspiration

 

"5 Cardinals"

oil, 8x10

 

While many tire of the snow and cold, I still find inspiration in winter weather and snow-filled views. Careful examination yields colorful reflections in the snow, ripe for painting. Birds and winter animals abound. So glad someone else felt the same way and found a home for this little painting.

A Special Show: "From Our Travels"

In the late Fall 2014, my mother-in-law, artist and historian, Justine K. Landis, and I exhibited together at the handsome Blue Moon Restaurant in York. It was a first for us to have an exhibit together. We displayed over 20 works done mainly on location from our trips to Europe and the east and west coasts of the USA. Thus, the show was called:  "From our Travels".

"JKL's Wall"

"SBL's Wall"

Large Farm Painting

 

"Peaceful Farm View"

12x24", oil on masonite board

 

This painting was done on location at a lovely farm near Lewisberry and was rather challenging particularly for plein air painting due to its fairly large size. I was glad to be able to exhibit it recently in the Susquehanna Valley Plein Air Painters (SVPAP) http://susquehannavalleypleinairpainters.blogspot.com/ group show at Carlisle Arts Learning Center.

 



Another Way to See Harrisburg

"Crimson & Blue City View"

8x24", oil on Masonite

The Pennsylvania capital city's skyline and shoreline offers so many terrific views. So glad this painting has found a new home.
