Winter Blues II

Above is my latest piece, Winter Blues II, 11x14, oil on panel (I previously did a colored pencil self portrait titled Winter Blues). I have started planning my next piece, which is to be colored pencil, but it will have to be put on hold for a bit while I work on portrait commissions.

Goodbye to Winter Blues

Just in time for spring, I have sold Winter Blues and it is now officially in the hands of its new owner! I vividly recall creating this piece at a time I felt overcome by the blues and greys of the landscape, and I was very much yearning for spring. Still, I've heard people say (and I agree) that this piece has a bright and optimistic feel. Perhaps the spring bloom will inspire a future outdoor figurative painting.
