Paintings in the woods


This painting is of a derelict truck I found in the woods near Abercorn, Quebec. I painted it on a misty, overcast day with occasional hints of sunshine;- the trees gave a lovely pearly green but the atmosphere was gloomy as there were other derelict bits of farm machinery in the area as well as the skeletons of several cows.



This also is a scene from the woods near Abercorn. The sun blasts through the clearing and I'm painting in the shade, covered head to toe, the exposed parts of my skin and hair saturated with Deet as the mosquitoes are determined. The light is very beautiful, dazzling every time I see it, but it is best to keep moving.
