Between the Lakes

Between the Lakes

I really enjoy kayaking and there is a favorite spot that is between 2 lakes close to my home, Crystal and Panther. Many trees fall into this waterway and make excellent places for small animals and much plant life. Of course, when I find a place I like, I have to put it on canvas. This one turned out quite well. I hope you like it.

20X24 WILLIAMSBURG OILS ON STRETCHED CANVAS. LOTS OF FINE DETAIL AND COOL TONES WITH A HINT OF WARMTH SET THE SCENE FOR THIS WINTER LANDSCAPE. I WAS LOOKING AT THE WORK OF A WONDERFUL LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHER ON ETSY WHEN ONE PHOTO CAUGHT MY INTEREST. IT WAS OF THE HEMLOCK CREEK BRIDGE. I ASKED PATTY IF SHE WOULD ALLOW ME TO USE HER PHOTO TO WORK FROM. SHE AGREED AND I WENT TO WORK. THE PHOTO IS A STARTING POINT AND INSPIRATION. I ALMOST NEVER PAINT EXACTLY THE SCENE I SEE BUT MAKE IT MY OWN.

PLEASE GO TO PATTY’S ETSY STORE AT: http://www.etsy.com/shop/CountryDreaming TO COMPARE PATTY’S PHOTO AND MY PAINTING AND CHECK OUT THE REST OF HER WORK. I THINK YOU WILL FIND BOTH OUR WORKS ARE WORTH YOUR WHILE!

YOU CAN PURCHASE HER PHOTO AND MY PRINT AND HAVE A GREAT
COMBINATION ART TO ADMIRE.

ALL MY ART IS AVAILABLE IN PRINT FORM.

Sugar Maples

The maples are running with sap now, and have been for the past couple of weeks. This is a sure sign of spring. Buds are swelling, flowers are emerging from the ground and we all feel a sense of rebirth. What a wonderful time of the year!

Big Maine Pine

Big Maine Pine

In the heat of the summer, the smell of the pines in the woods behind my house, is overwhelming. I love the pines and if you ever walk in the woods here, you will know what I mean.
