Lake's Last Light- 24x 36

Lake's Last Light  24x36 oil on gallery wrapped canvas
This was inspired from small study I did recently. I like to work out the color and design before I go large.  The landscape is from Lake Granbury.  It is always a pleasure to go out on the lake in the boat and watch the setting sun.  We don't have to go far to find stunning views like this one.

French Countryside at Sunset

French Country Side at Sunset 16x20 oil on canvas

 

I loved painting this and adding my own color scheme to the landscape.  My challenge is to take a simple landscape photo and enhance it. Adding the glowing colors of a beautiful sunset made this landscape pop.

The sky was a wonderful mix of cool and warm colors.  I started with a thin layer of thalo red rose and built up the texture and color from there.  The view is along a walking path in Pecan Valley Park, Benbrook, Texas.  The sunrise views from here are a constant inspiration for me.

This blooming bush is one of the first burst of color in the spring time.  I spied these at the Botanical Gardens in Ft.  Worth. I painted on location and gathered reference photos for studio paintings.  I create my paintings in layers and the final is with the palette knife. I love to create drama with texture and color.

It changed in a drastic shades of orange, pink and blue.  I was amazed at the array of colors in this beautiful morning sky.  It was both a challenge and joy to create on canvas.  I started with a warm base and used the paint brush  to lay in the big shapes.  I quickly grabbed the palette knife and started building texture and warm colors.
