A Real Mix

This posting is a real mix of paintings.  Some have been done for a while waiting for the opportunity to get good photographs of them.  We managed to get photographs of three paintings today.  All complete until otherwise determined to be incomplete.  The first is "Differences", a bright and vivid painting using blues, greens, reds and yellows in a stark contrast of the cool and hot colors.  A large canvas 48" X 30".  The painting was done finished with knives.

The second posted here is a paining just for fun.  It started out to be part of a diptych which never managed developed. Considering that it actually had a different future in mind for itself, we let it show us what that was.  To our amazement, it captures the moment that the Gingerbread Man escaped from the circus.  An historical moment indeed.  A lot of fun with color and whimsy.

The third posting is the fifth in our series on Trees.  We set out to create nine paintings on panels, with each painting representing in some way a tree or trees but in an abstract or non representational style.  This is number five with four to go.  Each painting makes an effort to represent the tree in distinctly different way.  Number five is drawn significantly from fantasy books we have read.  Trees have such significance in literature and the Bible.
