Still Hanging

"Still Hanging"
6" x 6"
Oil on hardboard
The sun dangled over the farm in those final moments before day faded to night. It posed between silo and pine like a bowling ball about to roll between a bedpost split. 

I'm not a bowler, but I do like the picturesque terminology presented above.  The 7-10 split is also called a goalpost split, which may appeal to some more than others.

Flat Bottoms

"Flat Bottoms"

The clouds in my zip code are trying on the garments of the next season. They are darker and heavier than the billowy summer frocks of the last quarter.  Soon that dark will be too heavy to carry and it'll be tumbling toward the ground in six-pointed crystals. I can't even type the word. Not on the first of October. Nope. I can't do it.

Little Puffs of Steam

"Little Puffs of Steam"
6" x 6"
Oil on hardboard
They weren't serious cumulonimbi drifting across the plains, but more like little puffs of steam, the kind that sputter from a too-full tea kettle before it boils onto the stove. Or the steam iron that spits angrily the second you hold it over the blouse you simply have to wear that day.

I'm working on a large rose painting that is requiring more of my attention than usual, but she'll be worth the effort.

Sunrise Waves

"Sunrise Waves"
6" x 6"
Oil on hardboard
Long, tongue-like waves licked their way toward shore, some donning morning's light, others determined to drag night along as long as possible.

A sunrise is my warm up this time.  I bought more of these panels over the weekend so I can continue this little passion for a while longer. I'm figuring out how to paint that blue stuff that changes color and shape over my head.
