Iris 1 | Iris 2

Purple Iris
Some rather gaudy Purple Irises serve as willing subjects for working wet-in-wet and glazing for bright, colorful, results.

Pines 1 | Pines 2
|
Line of Pines
After underpainting in bright basic hues, I develop a field and the tree line in high silhouette. This was a fun experiment. |
Barn 1 | Barn 2
|
White Barn
Here is a large white barn on a hillside with out buildings. Some minor drylift changes were made to one section. Watch. |
House 1 | House 2
|
Frostville House
The Carpenter house was built circa 1830. This house is an example of the best of two-story frame houses of the Post-Colonial Period of the Western Reserve. |
Tree 1 | Tree 2
|
Frisket Tree
A weird composition, but a fun painting to build using liquid frisket technique. I used some interesting all over glazing techniques and a lot of detailed and textured brushwork. |
