Hydrangeas in Winter Plaque II

This is a second version of a plaque I did two years ago which I recently painted again upon request from a client.  I never do two identical paintings, but I do revisit some of them on occasion especially if someone asks me to.  This is the same pagoda I painted in the background of the first version but the faded browning blossoms could be just be  blooms ‘from a different year’.   I love how Hydrangeas can be beautiful all year long.   I am including here a photo of an early stage of the paint process before the flowers were painted.  This plaque is 12″ wide and 9″ tall.

February Sun on Snow Tray

Sunlight on snow is so striking I could not resist painting it on the 18″ X 12″ center of this  wooden tray.   Yet I am told by some that it looks like light from a full moon.  What do you see?  I based this painting on a photo I took of my own backyard in the winter of 2015  when snow piled up on logs from trees that had fallen in the previous year’s storm.   I added the little rabbit from a photo I took a few years back.  She is just sitting there taking it all in!  This tray is available for sale at $85 including shipping within the United States.  Please contact me through this site if you are interested in purchasing it.
