Stand of Pines in Violets 257 SOLD

Did this monster for an old high school friend of mine and her husband. There had been whispers of a commission of the Pines for a while now. It's is always nice when someone identifies with imagery that is so special to you. These are not done from pictures or even from life. It comes from the heart and from the soul. This one is the largest of the series I have ever completed at 30"x40". It was a challenge, but so much fun!

This picture doesn't do this painting justice. I have 3 more and each one looks different.

Stand of Pines in Violets 002

This is the second installation in the Stand of Pines series. These pieces are typically night scenes, this one especially. The sense of that piece of time just before it goes completely dark. There is an interesting color relationship that occurs between color of the sky and the color of the trees. This piece was also done with a palette knife, but on a wood panel that has the same profile as gallery wrap. I have almost given up on stretched canvas, the brush loves the springiness, but the palette knife does not.

Make sure you click on the image to see the knife work... these look amazing lit from above...
