Memory Painting from Green Hill

 

Hey Friends,  This was a real treat to paint.  I call them Memory paintings.  I start at the site with sketches, take a couple photos and sometimes even start the canvas.  But I finish at home and try not to use the photos.  It's more of a challenge and more fun.

The wild phlox and mertensia is what compelled me to paint this.  CLICK HERE for ebay. 

Thank you for stopping by.

Happy Trails

the Raven and Japan

Hey Friends, OK, here is my beautiful Raven and one messy small greenish blob. I'm always surprised how quick and easy these guys are to paint. Kinda like cows. I like the yellow background. I was shootin' for happy. Makes me happy!

Now this one is a happy painting too. I'm going to list it in the Daily Paintworks challenge. ALL the funds raised will go to help out in Japan. Isn't it wonderful they figured out how to set this up so quickly? David Marine is his name so go check out the site and buy something !!

Now what do ya think of this painting? You supposed to paint something that reminds you of home. These are the mountains here in SW Virginia and the Roanoke River. I painted it as if I were in the top of a very tall tree, looking over Greenhill Park, because that park is close to home. Obviously the rest is a good dream.

Happy Trails.
