"Winter Solstice"

This painting is a demo I did for private instruction students in my studio.  I was trying for a more muted version of my tree paintings.  This one has pearl mica flake "snow", which does not photograph well, but is a really beautiful effect.

"Winter Wardrobe"

I just realized that I never posted this demo painting from my recent workshop at Art of the Carolinas.  It's another from my tree series.  I never tire of the seemingly endless opportunities to use color in this format.

It's painted on a cradled wood panel - I think that has to be my favorite surface.  I like the firm feel under the brush.
