Artists Of Texas Contemporary Paintings and Art

"Valley of Light and Water" 36x36, Oil on Canvas     I've actually been working on this piece for several weeks with the layers of glaze. I wanted the distant hills to have a green tint and the land to get warmer in coloring as it came forward. I added the little lake at the bottom because I felt the painting needed something to balance the textured sky.   Palette: Burnt Umber, Ultramarine Blue, Yellow Ochre and Titanium White

  "Cain" 20x20, Oil on Canvas I've been working on this piece for several weeks. I wanted to depict the story of Cain through the emotional landscape. The storm rolling in over the green hills that are in contrast with the burnt land. The twisting tree, the symbol of Cain as he turns away. Palette: Burnt Sienna, Ultramarine Blue, Titanium White, Yellow Ochre with hints of Cadmium Red Light and Nickel Titanium Yellow.

"One Calling in the Desert" 12x12, Oil on Gessobord     I have been painting my way through the book of John and loved how some of the passages on light have struck me. I played with the "rough" places being made soft and I liked how gently the clouds seemed to wrap around the blue.
