Adding in detail

Fall Sunset, Soybean field 18 X 24 Acrylic.

Continuing my work on sunsets and sunrises, this scene is one of Soybean fields on the property I hunted for about 15 years. Rolling Hills, Beautiful oak flats and deep ravines. I always come back from hunting inspired after seeing beautiful sunrises and sunsets in the Indiana country. 

 

Untitled 14 X 18 Acrylic

A little practice here, I am trying to nail the dramatic sunrise/sunset in my last two paintings. Work in progress, I seem to learn a little each time. This is combo of that same sunset photograph I worked off "Broken Oak, I just focused on the sky this time. Not sure if this one will make the show circuit or not. What is your opinion?

Broken Oak - Acrylic 18 X 24

This is from an old white Oak on my brother's property near Mt. Sterling Illinois. I love to paint tree's with character, and I also wanted to try my hand at a challenging sky like some of my artist friends on facebook. Mike Wintermantel comes to mind as some one who does wonderful sunsets. I still got work to do,  to do justice to the photo I was working off.  

‎"Out of the Fog" 18 X 24 Acrylic

Had a creative draught this summer, and so this title is sort of a metaphor. Scene is a country road just west of Georgetown Illinois. The 18 X 24 picture is actually a prototype for a bigger picture I have planned.

Happy Thanksgiving!
