The Landscapes

We were at a Christmas craft open house a couple years ago, and saw these paintings that a local artist was selling. I love them, and would have bought one, but they were too expensive. So I settled for these photos that I took. Which is your favorite?

And I am so looking forward to returning to the ranch and finding my art again. I have paintings in mind to do a book to finish writing.

I really liked most of them, but my favorite was the first. Just something about it.

Striking and Very Interesting Blog Look today!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow!!!!!!!

Guess the first one, the one you use in your Header, is my favorite.

He is intent on the use of warm, light filled effects.

How To Paint Light, has been the quest, of many artists.

I definitely think the cardinal on the bench is my favorite. They are all really nice.
I like Twyla's quote too.

I like the bench one with the cardinal. I'm getting partial to cardinals for some reason which isn't necessarily a good thing. I don't need to be collecting anything else!

That's a talented artist! I've going back and forth but I think the bench with the cardinals is my favorite.

These are all wonderful, it's hard to choose just one favorite. I think I'm leaning towards the one with the cardinals.
