Birches I and II

I tried using a pallette knife plus brushes with these paintings on canvas. I first painted the 10"X10" and was so happy with it, I painted the larger one the same week.

Fall in Idaho III

I took what I'd learnt from individual paintings of Birch trees and applied to a 3 panel painting. I tried to make each canvas a stand alone painting as well as part of the bigger picture.

I painted a 10X10 canvas of an Iris for last years Pend D'Orielle Art Council fund raiser. I wanted to try it again and then thought of using the same concept for two more flower paintings.
