The Tree Out Front is an oil on 6″x8″ canvas and is available for $95. We still have lots of snow and it makes everything look so different that I want to paint all the scenes with snow on them now. I’ll have to settle for taking photos to build my reference file.
This is the reference photo and how it looks on the easel with the painting. This photo was taken from my front door looking to the left down the street.

From time to time I do commission work other than pet portraits. One that I recently completed was Susan’s Weeping Cherry Tree. After living with the painting for several weeks the client decided that she would like to have the house in the painting after all. So here is a snapshot of the painting after I added the house.
This was the original painting. I like having the house in it. It adds depth to the composition. It’s not always possible to go back into a painting and make it work but sometimes you get lucky. 🙂

This is the beginning of the painting, Shenandoah Fall. I was reminded recently by a couple of blog readers that you like to see the progress of a painting. I forget to take photos because I get caught up in what I am doing when I paint. I’ll try to remember to stop and take some photos so that I can post the progression in the future.
The palette I worked with looked like this. I often use palette paper which makes for a much easier clean-up when I finish work. I generally use about 6 or 7 colors when I paint and blend them together to get the tones I need.
And this is the complete painting, Shenandoah Fall I, which measures 6″x8″ and is framed and available at Delilah’s for $145. There is a companion piece that I did at the same time that I will post soon.
