#133 - First Snow

8" x 10" Oil on canvas panel

I found this scene on my phone from an early November commute home. Little did I know the new dusting of snow was foreshadowing of the winter to come!

#131 - Long Shadows

10" x 8" Oil on canvas panel

I find great painting material on my drive home from work every night. I like the way the shadows on the field mirror the clouds in the sky.

#130 - Ohio Star

9" x 12" Oil on canvas panel

I was driving home from work on Friday and pulled over to take a picture of this barn. I must have pulled over too far and got stuck in the snow. Two very nice guys stopped and helped dig me out, and wouldn't take anything for their help. Reminded me of a favorite George Eliot quote: "Excellence encourages one about life generally."
