Spring Glow

I recently finished painting "Spring Glow", an original oil painting.  I painted this as a demo in my oil painting class when our project theme was 'acrylic under painting'.  When you play with complimentary layered colors, you will get a glow in your paintings.  I was skeptical about putting the yellow under the sky but it worked out better than I had hoped.
I found this scene near Kalispell, Montana in the Flathead Valley.  This scene is of Peter's Ridge.  I spent a cold, rainy day in June but when the sun cleared, the fresh snow on the Swan Mountains and the end of day sunlit  pine trees inspired me. "Spring Glow" is available for purchase.

Sol

"Sol" oil (sold)
I finished this 24" x 36" oil painting recently.  I was inspired by a scene I encountered on Flathead Lake, near Kalispell, Montana.  I've always loved and have painted a series of Adirondack chairs but this one was the most colorful version I've seen yet.  I was attracted to the rainbow of colors, especially in the water.  The original photo had a "Corona" box which I took artistic license and created my own label: "Down Dog Ale".  This painting was sold before the paint was dry to dear friends who loved it.   A variety of high quality prints can be ordered through Fine Art America.
