Reflections

This painting came about from an idea and a mental picture. I wanted to show the tall plume of smoke balancing the long reflection from the mast in the water. To emphasise these the picture had to be tall and narrow.

Distant Mountain

This is my first excursion into oils. After watching several Bob Ross programs on the Discovery channel I went to a Bob Ross workshop and produced this. Although simple in nature and lacking a focal point I was pleased with the overall effect to the degree that I abandoned acrylics and went to several more Bob Ross style classes.

Hidden Moon

The impact of the tree growing out of the oval mask makes this picture. A variety of techniques were used in this wet-on-wet painting. Palette knife, oval brushes, fan brushes and although I have improved in technique since this painting it is still one of my favourites.
