Clatter Valley (Sold)

The surface of the watercolor paper in this country painting creates a beautiful texture that enhances the depth of this painting.  Looking into it, you feel like you can go back miles.  The strong gold and amber colors in the foreground and the soft, hazy blues in the background create the feeling of distance.  The tinting is clean and creates a soft, almost watercolor look for this folk art painting. The soft background was created through the use of tinting to haze the images in the distance and give a quiet feel to this rural landscape.

Birch Tree Pond (Sold)

I like painting Birch Trees in this folk art style.  The uneven texture of the trees and strong contrast black and white barns grab your attention. I use black and white often in my barn paintings. The strong use of browns gives this country painting an earthy feel. Most of my paintings have tinting and glazing.  Sometimes I tint the entire painting after it is almost complete and then paint in the details again.  If a specific area needs special attention, I may just tint the one area and then work it up again to a more complete finish.  Some paintings have as much as 5 layers of tinting.  Most of my work is acrylic with some oil pastels.
