"Morning Light"

"Morning Light", Oil on canvas, 40" x 30", Available

Happy 2011!

About a year ago, I painted "Lakeside Morning", and once it was dry, placed it on the mantel over our fireplace. In November it moved to the home of a great friend of mine in Aptos, CA. I'm always glad to see my paintings find new homes, and (at the same time) am sad to see them go. This was especially true of "Lakeside Morning". I missed it!

This last week (between Christmas and New Years) I had lots of time to myself, which is a rarity, and I used the time to paint. I painted all day Monday through Friday. The first of my finished paintings is "Morning Light" (above) which is based on the previous "Lakeside Morning" painting but is six times bigger. What do you think? Do you prefer one over the other?

That is a very nice piece of work. May I inquire as to the your asking price?

Very nice. You must have painted like crazy to finish before the sun climbed higher. Did you even get in a sip of coffee?

They are both nice. I see you did the small piece at a more reasonable morning hour.

I didn't expect to come across another artist's blog after 2 clicks on the "next blog" button, but I'm glad I did.

This is a lovely painting! Great sense of atmosphere, and I like how you have portrayed a peaceful feeling with a nice mix of bright colors and few well-placed darks. I bet this one is incredible to see in person!
