Going to Church

Once in awhile I enjoy doing a painting using a limited pallet.  Today I decided to use a combination of dapple grey, black and white.  Adding colorful objects such as people to the otherwise quiet background makes them pop.  I hope you like the end result.  "Going to Church" is 8" x 10".

Fish for Supper

It's a great day for ice fishing here in the valley.  The sun is shining and the temperature is perfect.  "Fish for Supper" is 6" x 12".

Christmas Eve Service

Since it is unlikely that we will have snow here for Christmas, I have created my own.  Inspired by a seasonal card a friend received, I have fashioned this wonderful scene, not unlike that of my childhood when we would don our winter gear, head for church, and celebrate the birth of Christ with friend and family at the Anglican Church in Bridgetown.  The bells in the steeple would ring out good cheer and the atmosphere was mystical.  This painting entitled "Christmas Eve Service" is 5" x 10" and brings with it blessings to you and yours for a very merry Christmas.

Preparing for Christmas

I absolutely love Christmas scenes with lots of snow and activity.  I can just settle into the picture and get lost in memories of my childhood at this wonderful time of year.  I decided to try a different technique with this painting (no sketching and the lines are not well defined) and rather like the outcome.    I hope you enjoy "Preparing for Christmas".  It is 8" x 16".

Caroling by Moonlight

This painting is for all of you who enjoy cool winter evenings and holiday celebrations.  "Caroling by Moonlight" begs you to join this wintery scene.  To sing carols, go skating, take a sleigh ride, or just set back, relax and dream.  This painting is 9" x 12".

I will have this painting, along with many others, at the MacDonald Museum Christmas Craft Fair in Middleton on Friday, Nov. 23 ( 5 - 9) and Saturday, Nov. 24 (10 - 4).  Hope to see you there.
