Hill Pasture, oil on canvas, 20×30
This is merely a hill with trees on it, but there's more there than meets the eye. My aim was to create a feeling of hopefulness for another spring and all it promises in the months to come.
Blue’s Field, oil on canvas, 20×40
This field was lit like it was internally glowing from the effect of a very low angled morning sun. I liked the feel of the warm foreground in front [...]
