I finished this 9"x12 " this morning after 3 days. This painting was titled because of the apparent heavy snow during the night. It blew so hard the snow stuck to the side of the trees and the sunrise lit up the snow spectacularly.
"Snow Last Night"
Crossing over at Dusk
At the edge of town runs the river. We were driving over the bridge just at the time the water captured the last of the sun on a perfect fall day. I was amazed at the shades of violet and purples plus the orange reflection of the autumn leaves.

The Road Home
In September The Ohio Plein Air Society held their annual Paint Out in Alexandria, Ohio.
My painting "The Road Home" was selected after the competition to be shown in their show for two months at Sunbear Gallery.
In this plein air competition artists are given locations that the land owner has approved the painting on their property. We also had the option of just driving around until we found a spot that inspired us. The event last three days with Friday and Saturday for painting and Sunday for the judging. Friday i was driving around looking for a spot and was captured by this farm early in the morning. This is a 15X30" board and I think I liked the way using a long rectangle helped convey the acreage on which this small farm was sitting. The fields at that time of year were that wonderful golden color.
