Painting 30 in 30 - Day 7/Trees

"Twisted"

5 1/2" x 10"

mixed media on Canson Colorline blue

pastel on gouache

I loved doing this one today. These are my dead trees in winter, minus many twiggy branches.  I loved how the light was filtering through them creating such great shadows.

I am very fond of this surface but will have to make a few minor changes when using it next time - like mount it on a board...as it warps a little when you seal it with clear gesso.  It's very papery, too, Tape on top is very hard to remove without tearing the surface.  I used gouache to paint the trees and pastel pencil on top.

Yes, it is for sale, just email me.

Solid to Liquid

It's amazingly beautiful, how the sun takes care of the ice. Here are some photos of the ice as the sun penetrates it. The ice crashes or melts to the earth in one afternoon's time. Just standing there, listening, it was a sensory overload! I took soooo many pictures, saw such cool things!
