A Quiet Afternoon - Daily Painting, Landscape, River, Reflections, Ohio
9x12 oil on canvas panel. This painting is from last week. I spent this week working around the house and yard. It has been exhausting catching up on chores that have been long neglected but very satisfying to see them done. The next few posts are paintings from last weekend.

Still Hanging On - Daily Painting, Landscape, Spring Tree, Hillside, Sunlight, Shadow
16x12 oil on canvas board. Five years ago (almost to the day) I painted this very same tree hanging on to the side of this small hill in the woods.(You can see it here). Once again I loved the light on the small stream at the base of the hill and the tree still there, still hanging on and the overall spring green glow was magical. I tried some different things with this painting, more on that later in the week. I am pretty pleased with the picture.

On The East Branch - Daily Painting, landscape, Rocky River Reservation, Ohio, Spring
12x9 oil on canvas board. The only thing better than hiking through the woods and along the rivers with my dog, is painting the woods and rivers for a few hours each day. I really feel like I'm starting to get the hang of it. The river and the rocks help me organize the painting. Pretty soon I will tackle the deep woods without the aid of the river to open the scene up for me.
