Small Landscape Painting, Cabin in the Woods, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x8" oil on panel
This is a small painting I did last fall. We have moved from Florida to North Carolina, and this one was overlooked in the craziness of an interstate move. Deep breath......it is all over now!

I often passed this cabin, on my daily walks. I am always inspired by the beauty surrounding me during my walks. The cabin looked so charming, nestled in the trees, with spots of sunlight hitting it.
This piece is a combination of brush and palette knife.
I have gone without painting for several months due to my move. I am anxious to return to my new (small) studio, and begin this new version of my daily routine. I hope I remember how to paint!
Thanks for viewing!

Fall Landscape Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Autumn Trees, 6x8" Oil on Canvas
I posted this last autumn. How did autumn get here so fast? Time seems to go faster and faster each year.

We have just returned from time in the mountains, rushing home to monitor hurricane season in Florida. When we return to the mountains, this will be a typical scene.
It is so easy to overdue autumn colors. Your eye tells you the intense colors are what you are seeing, but when you put it on canvas, it is not believable. Time to tone it down a touch. Nature is maybe not quite that bright.

Floral Landscape, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting "Summer Wildflowers", 6x8" Oil on Panel
One of my guilty pleasures, when I am in the Blue Ridge Mountains, is my morning walk, which inspired this painting.
Of course, I also admire the songbirds and gorgeous, towering, hardwood trees. It's not really a guilty pleasure, as it is hard work walking 4 miles when at least half of it is up the side of a mountain.

Sunflowers and farmhouse...the perfect pairing! daily painting, small oi painting, 6x8 oil painting
Sunflowers and farmhouses, the perfect pairing!
It is a cold, gray day, here in the mountains, and sunflowers are the perfect way to brighten things up.
Both sunflowers and farmhouses, are not uncommon, here in the mountains. It's hard not to smile when I look at sunflowers.
Yesterday, we drove over the mountains to Gatlinburg. I am happy to report that things are looking up there. Spring is taking over, renewal is everywhere. Yes, there are still signs of the devastating fires from two years ago, but the mood is upbeat and the tourists are there.
Have a wonderful day!
