Sunrise at Sue's Farm


Oil on canvas
11x14, framed and ready to hang
Available on my website

I love the quote I read that says, "In painting, value does all the work, but color takes the credit."  In this painting I really only have two major values; a very dark 'dark' and a fairly light 'light.'  Something you would see in the landscape just before the sun's rays emerge from the horizon.

White Rose

Oil on panel
6x6, NFS

I notice that what we think of as white objects (clouds, snow, flowers) rarely contain "pure white" paint.  There are just a few strokes of pure white in this one  This painting was donated to my wonderful local library.
