Snowy Eve II

          I am very honored that my piece "Snowy Eve II" was accepted into the Oil Painters of America - Western Regional this year!  There is so much wonderful work in this show and I am very humbled to be a part of it.
          This is looking across from my property.  I did one earlier that was mostly the tree in the foreground and you could barely see the ones in the background.  With each snow it changes and trying to capture its many moods is a fun challenge.

Haze at Dawn

     This was at sunrise in the midwest but this same type of light happens here in the west from the fires that are raging here.  This was painted from my parents farm, one of the last ones to be done from there.
