Bougainvillea and Pitcher


6 x 6 inches - oil on hardboard - I went through my reject pile and came across this one that I decided was worth resurrecting. It was actually painted in 2014. What can I say - ideas change on what constitutes the good, the bad, and the ugly.

View of the Bridge


5 x 7 inches - oil on gessoboard - I had to move the stone bench a bit.  It's a lot easier to move it in the painting than it would be in real life.

Brecon Grill


8 x 8 inches - oil on linen board - While visiting my brother and his wife, we often eat at this little restaurant that is walking distance from their house. It always looks inviting when the sun is going down.

Shady Woods


8 x 10 inches - oil on linen board - The woods holds a lot of mystery in the shade of its trees.  The colours are sometimes surprising.

Cedar Branches


10 x 8 inches - oil on linen board - In the shade, trees abandon the lower branches. It makes for interesting patterns against the forest floor.

Summer's End


8 x 8 inches - oil on linen board - It looks like the warm weather is over now and once the fall colours are down on the ground we are bracing ourselves for the first snow.
