ORIGINAL PAINTING LANDSCAPE RIVER EDGE WITH COWS AND REDBUDS

 

Hey Friends,  This was painted from photos and sketches I took last summer while watching my

GranBabes play along the bank of the Roanoke River in Greenhill Park. 

There is a small herd of cows, I see from time to time, across the way.  I"ve always wanted to cross the river and get closer photos.

I can't seem to spot a place on the other bank to get out of the water.  It all looks too overgrown and snakey.

 

This is painted on gessoed mat board so it should be matted and under glass.

Check it out in EBAY.

 

Hope you are having a great weekend.

Thanks for stopping by.

 

HAPPY TRAILS

Gum Springs-the Glow of a Million Red Buds

Hey Friends, A couple weeks ago I posted some photos I took on a short walk down our little country road along Gum Springs. I did finally get around to painting from them. At the time I was painting, the Red Bud trees were in full bloom. That's where the title came from. The little buds have fallen now and the little green leaves are emerging. In the photo below it is hard to visulize all the shades of green and the glow from a Bazillion Red Buds when the sun is setting. Just trust me - That's what it looks like

I painted another from the same area that I will post later. I only have 2 shows scheduled for this year, thus far. And it's a darn good thing 'cuz I'm not sure I'll be ready for these. The first is in a couple weeks and the second is the end of May. Boy, I better get with it.

Happy Trails.
