wood sculpture.
The Joy Farm
Oil on panel, 20 X 48"
A study of light falling across a valley, creating abstract patterns of color
and shapes, and the textures of the dead weeds and bare trees; all combine to
create a somewhat mysterious scene.
Winter House
The snow covered farm scene, everyone's inside; a time of quiet.
Oil on panel, 24 X 48"
Spring house saw this turquoise painted farm house in the midst of all the early spring
colors and had to paint it. The weird colored shapes created by the morning
light was an added bonus.
