The grasses on the slope blew in the breeze while we hiked toward the top of the hill. What was on the other side would be a surprise to me and my friend. Neither of us had been here before. 

 Here's another sky for my composite piece.  Of course they are for sale individually, as well.

Close Shave

"Close Shave"
12" x 12"
Oil on wrapped canvas
We had been walking through the woods when we realized the light levels were changing—rapidly. We made our way into the clearing to find the sun two fingers from the horizon, or about thirty minutes before dark. Nothing looked familiar, until I spotted a deer, or possibly a moose trail that I knew would lead me to the river where we left the canoe. Close shave.  

I was chosen today to have my art featured in the Dick Blick Art Materials catalog for Spring.  Two pieces of my art will be used as spot art in their publication. I'm tickled to have been chosen.

Daylight Come

Yup, Harry Belafonte's Day-O, or the Banana Boat song.  It's a work song that the dock workers would sing while working the night shift loading bananas onto ships. Daylight has come, the shift is over and they want their work to be tallied so that they can go home.  

With so many skies under my, um, belt, titling them gets tricky.  Pardon my goofiness.
