Winter in Purple

Nearly monotone winter landscape.  Twelve inches square.  An acrylic on stretched canvas.  I like restricting my palette, particularly with landscapes.  This one was inspired by a claendar photo.  To me it looked lonely but peaceful, and with all the wild weather I suppose that's a change.  There's a yellow/orange landscape to come, I usually do a hot and a cold at the same time.  Maybe I need the balance :)

Winter Fun

Yes these are actual ice skates applied to my painting surface! Another 3D peice which is now in a lovely silver frame. This icey painting also sports several snowflakes I created with foam core. At 25x35 inches it is a dramatic statement in cool tones.
