Patterns in the Rain

Patterns in the Rain   6 x 6"  oil on panel   SOLD
I came across this stand of trees during the recent weeks of nearly constant rain and drizzle. I loved the blue green muted foliage and the way the tree branches stood out against it, creating a beautiful organic pattern. This painting is the result of my memory of that image. I like the abstract quality grounded in representation.

In the Fog

Emerging  6 x 6"  Oil on panel  SOLD
It's been such a rainy foggy spring that it has reminded me of my week on Great Spruce Head Island two years ago where we were socked in for the entire week. I learned to appreciate the beauty of the fog that week. This painting is a memory of that time.
