Original Ash Tree Clump Barbizon Landscape Painting

2009-09-16T19:32:00.003-05:00

An ash tree clump that we have growing on our old farmstead was the starting point for the idea of this painting. I depicted this scene under one of those wonderful summer days that we occasionally have here in the Midwest without a cloud in the sky. This piece is done on a 8 x 10" stretched canvas and can be viewed and purchased at the link below. ( click here to purchase or see more of my

Barn Along a Back Road Landscape Painting

2009-09-06T08:27:00.004-05:00

I much prefer to travel the midwest along the quiet back roads rather than the interstate highways. You never know what you may find along a remote stretch of road paved or graveled. This old barn was found along a back road that we were traveling and was all that was left of the once thriving farm that is had been part of. I painted this piece on a 16 x 12" stretched canvas using acrylic

Stormy Sky Original Farm Field Landscape Painting

2009-09-04T07:57:00.004-05:00

A stormy sky to the west of our farmstead inspired this painting idea for me recently. I love to watch the wide open midwestern horizon late in the day to the west of us. For this painting I worked on a 16 x 12 canvas building up layers of acrylic paint.

In the Quiet Fields ~ Original Barbizon Landscape Acrylic Painting

2009-08-27T19:05:00.003-05:00

Although I have been working in oil recently I have missed painting in acrylic too. I will now be rotating between both painting mediums for my future landscape pieces. That allows me to choose the medium that best suits the subject of each painting. For this quiet country landscape I decided on acrylic paint on a 16 x 12" stretched canvas. This piece is ready to be framed. I love

Patchwork Fields of the HeartlandI can't help but seeing the heartland as sort of a big old patchwork quilt in the summer months! There is nothing quite like seeing a beautiful big blue sky overhead filled with lovely white clouds floating by and underneath tiny farms dotted in among the patchwork pieces.

I have painted this farm landscape in oil on archival linen over board. This painting measures 10 x 8" and is ready to frame.

Barn Modern Tonal Farm Landscape

2009-08-12T08:03:00.004-05:00

I like painting hazy skies over my simple minimalist farm scenes. This painting is done in acrylic paint on a 16 x 12" stretched canvas and is one of the last acrylic paintings that I plan to paint for a while. I have switched to oil now, as I learned to paint in oil and have been working in acylic in recent years but am ready now to go back to my "roots" and work in oil again. I hope that

Sunset Original Barbizon Landscape Tonalism Painting

2009-08-08T07:45:00.002-05:00

There is an old farmstead hidden within this grove of trees that sets to the west of our old farmstead here in the midwest. The sky last week over it was a wonderful pastel mix with a small orange ball of a sun peeking through, just before the sun went down over the horizon.( click here to see more of my original landscape art )barbizon paintings,tonalist paintings, painting a day,daily

This landscape painting is done in acrylic on archival linen over board. I am working on a new series of landscapes done on linen over board.

Old Grove in the Meadow ~ Original Impressionist Landscape Painting

2009-07-29T08:44:00.004-05:00

This is another of my small 7 x 5" landscape paintings done on a masonite panel. I decided on a grove of old trees for this quiet poppy filled meadow scene. I find a certain sense of mystery about a grove of trees that have been left in a field or meadow. This meadow is under one of my big blue skies filled with clouds floating by on a beautiful summers day.( click here to purchase or see

Barn Along Fence Row ~ Original Farm Landscape Painting

2009-07-28T08:03:00.004-05:00

Many of the old fence lines disappeared from the heartland as farms and fields grew larger over time. I like incorporating them into my minimalist farm landscapes to give a sense of what was once common in here in the Midwest. I am currently working on several new landscapes to post in the near future including scenes with an old antique truck, lake sunset, and quiet tonalist forest. ( click here
