Golden Glory

Golden Glory
Oil on Board
10 x 8

This is the last of the paintings from my Red Deer painting trip.  This was inspired by all the amazing flowers at Ellis Bird Farm - I was drawn to the strength of the upright yellow stalks against the incredible blue sky!

Hilltop Farm

Hilltop Farm
Oil on Board
10 x 8
This is another painting from my trip, completed at Ellis Bird Farm near Blackfalds, Alberta.  My focus for this painting were those amazing clouds which reminded me of exclamation marks in the sky.  I tried to keep the farm and trees loosely painted as well, concentrating on the play of light and shadow.
