Some more figuratives

I am being pulled to do more and more figurative oils. I am happy with these but be watching for a looser technique soon.


"Toss a Stone, Make a Wish"
8" x 10"

Loved the gesture as she tossed a pebble into the water.


"Free Range in the Snow"
8" x 10"
SOLD

The unlikely scene draws me. Especially when it is unexpected and with no trickery. Chickens walking over a bridge in the dead of winter. Of course. The deep shadows of a lower winter sun helped to show off not only the chickens but more importantly, their shadows.


"Pondering at a Fire Gone Cold"
8" x 10"

So 'everyday different' was this scene. Cold. Crisp. Quiet. Again the long shadows of the winter sun.



"Huddling in the Barn"
8" x 10"
SOLD
