VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE

PURCHASE HERE
This pastel started with a photograph taken late in the afternoon...it was one of those "stop the car" moments when I knew the sun was making gorgeous shadows on the snow and in the river.  Lucky for me I have a patient husband who took a nap while I snapped many photos of the area.  Back in the studio I became interested in the shadows cast by the bridge itself....can you spot yours truely?  Actually this could be any viewer putting himself right into the painting.  Can't you just smell the cold air?  Anyway, this is  8 x 8 on yellow-gold paper and is in a square, white mat sized 14 x 14.  It was on its way to a gallery in NC but missed the size of the box by a mere 2"....thus I get to enjoy it here at home a bit longer...or sell it!

A Road Not Travelled

A road not travelled is always an

intrigue to me and this one in the snow carried an extra air of mystery because everything

was so, so quiet in the early morning as the sun came up.  I like paintings that take

you somewhere, even when I am not certain exactly where it is going...I like to imagine what might be around the curve, what might surprise me or comfort me.  Rounding the curve in this painting is like the sun coming up: it is a blank slate and a new beginning.  This is a 6 x 9 pastel on paper but it is matted in white to fit a standard  9 x 12 frame of your choice.  Yes, I'm still painting snow...more to come!
