Nearer To Thee- Landscape

Close ups

Oil on 5x7 hardboard.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. The hostess, Jean, provided the photos.

I was really tempted to try a great looking cat (jaguar, I think), but I was still seeing spots from last week's cheetah.

This is Mount Rundle in Alberta, Canada. Gorgeous scenes like this remind me of the constant presence of our Creator. The mountains seem to be in symbolic prayer to the Heavens.

Lake Louise-Alberta Canada

Close ups

Oil on 7x5 archival canvas panel.
This is my late contribution to WDE at Wet Canvas. Mike was the host and provided the great photo for this piece. Thank you, Mike!
Lake Louise is Canada's "Diamond in the Wilderness," and the "Hiking Capital of Canada". This area offers a tremendous diversity of recreational and sightseeing opportunities.

I decided to go with a landscape for the freedom it offers. After doing some figuratives and a pet portrait, it felt good not to have to work so tightly.
I just had a good time playing with the color on this one.

I first toned the support with thinned alizarin crimson. Bits of it peek throughout the painting. I think that this harmonizes the painting plus adds excitement for the eye.

Prince Edward Island

Oil on 7x5 archival canvas panel.
Thought I'd attempt a landscape for a change of pace. I changed many of the colors from the reference just to add my own feel (mood ?)to it. I enjoyed fooling with the texture. Thanks for looking.
Prince Edward Island is Canada's smallest and greenest province. Cradled on the waves of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the Island is known for the vivid colours of its gently rolling landscape.
This was painted from a reference photo graciously supplied by Nancy for the WDE at Wet Canvas.
