Wow. Stunning and very cool, Don! I love those pale wintery blue lights, esp. when they work as darks:) Thanks for all your gorgeous work and Happy Holidays. David
I'm from the northeast and my fingers are frozen right now, just got indoors. Love this painting! Your snow paintings sell well and everyone around here says snow paintings don't sell. The colors are beautiful. We recently had a great show of one of our best snow painters: Aldro Hibbard. He used great color in his snow paintings. Check him out. google-images.
Hi Mary--hope your fingers thawed out! Thanks for your comments. I know Hibbard's terrific work by reproduction only--would love to have seen that show.
I still feel like a beginner, even after a lifetime of painting. That’s the wonderful thing about art-making—each blank canvas offers the opportunity to rebuild your world anew. How many job descriptions offer that?
I grew up in rural northeast Oregon and started drawing and painting when very young. I’ve painted large murals all over the country, illustrated books, taught workshops and exhibited in galleries and museums. My art has traveled down two seemingly disparate but parallel paths: one more traditionally realist and the other more abstract. Sometimes they overlap.
Welcome to my daily painting blog.
Here's the deal: most everyday I trek out into the wilds of the woods, or maybe the wilds of my studio to complete a new small painting, usually oil on gessoed hardboard, 5 x 7 or 6 x 6 inches in size. Then I take a picture of it, close my eyes, cross my fingers and push the button that posts it on this blog, floating out into the virtual world.
