Winter Glow

I love Karen Vance's paintings.  This is a study after one of her paintings.  This peaceful winter country road with a warm glow in the distance took my breath away.

Going Home - Seasons Greetings

As my annual tradition I painted a small oil painting, as shown here, for season’s greetings to my family and friends.  This painting was done based on a photograph taken by my artist friend, Jolene Oyer, in Holland Patent in the upstate New York.  This Amish buggy was just passing by; Jolene quickly got a perfect snap shot.  I love the peaceful mood in this cold winter scenery yet with warm glow.  This painting found a home with my dear friends Chien and Cathy in San Antonio.

Mission San Jose

A group of artists (we called ourselves Texas Paint Slingers) had a paint-out at the historical Mission San Jose in San Antonio in October.  I chose the dome church as my subject.  It was interesting to see each artist rendered a different painting even though several of us standing in the same angle.
