Painting and a sketch

This painting is from a photo I took two Christmases ago at Callaway Gardens in Georgia. There was the most beautiful and vibrant sunset I remember seeing in years. I took a bunch of photos and did this painting from those. There is no way to adequately recreate those incredible colors!

I occasionally participate in various challenges on wetcanvas.com, an online artist community. A couple of months ago, one of the weekend challenges included this rooster from Monet's Garden. I couldn't resist sketching this beautiful chicken! He looked so peaceful.

Paintings from 12x12 show in February

In January I painted four 12"x12" paintings for a show at the Catawampus Gallery in Opelika. The owner decided to have 12x12 as the theme, and all artists were to submit works in that size. I enjoyed the challenge, because that's not a format I usually paint in.

I sold one of them a couple of weeks ago, but these are the other three. They are each framed in black frames. They were fun!
