Here’s an acrylic painting I did on location in Western Pennsylvania near Ligonier. I had about 45 minutes to paint it before returning it to the museum for art exhibition the next day.

Curious for more? drop me a message. Available to a new home.

This acrylic painting was made on location at the end of summer. The foreground is green grass with tufts of yellowish grass and other places of a dark green. I would call this color sap green in painting. In the middle third are a couple trees with some green leaves on them starting to turn to autumn leaves with oranges and rust colors. Beyond the trees in the background are hillsides, another ridge. This area is known as the Laurel Highlands and it’s a mecca for hiking, cross-country & downhill skiing, fishing, and just being at peace in nature. The sky is clouded over with gray, yet, the changing colors from summer greens to autumn yellows and oranges bring life to an otherwise dull sky of clouds.

The best thing Disney has done since Aladdin. Maybe the only thing that could get me into a movie theater on opening day ever again.

My great grandmother painted for fun. I grew up with one of her paintings – a stand of pine trees weighted down with heavy snow. I’ve always loved that painting so I thought I would create my own version. I hope you enjoy the results!

Semi abstract landscape of rolling hills, light and shadow. Limited palette of browns, golds and Payne’s grey emphasising the contours. Moonlight reflected off rocks, a cottage roof and vegetation.
