beautiful harmony of colours and brushwork Frank! and those little details eg the pigeons are delightful. amazing there are so many crosses on the roof of the church!
these two are so interesting juxtaposed to the one in the post below, Assorted Provisions.
so beautiful. love the shadows in Sanctuario and the contrasts of all sorts in Place of Rest. so marvelous how they, such different paintings, both do convey peacefulness.
The light on church on a computer screen looks fantastic.. must draw reverence in person! These larger works show your daily small painting investigations really informed you!~ wow Good luck with NE show.
I absolutely think the light on the church is wonderful.The wonderful reds evoke a hot bright day while the church is a cool quite place. The texture and brush strokes on each are perfection.
Hi Bill, thanks, those shadows really attracted me.
Thanks Middle Aged Woman Blogging. I can't for the life of me find your name, so I'll just have to call you that.
Thanks Andrea.
Hi Gary, thanks. They are still available if you'd like them in your house.
Hi Jennifer, thanks a lot.
Hey Bill, good to hear from you. Same palette, but that red really jumps.

There are a lot of paintings spread around my studio right now. Some are just sketched in and others are just about finished. Some are looking good, others, not so good.
I think these two make a nice pair. The colors are similar, and the shadows are an integral part of the design in both of paintings. They both have a peaceful mood.

They are both very restive and would look good in my house. Very peaceful.

I love the play of light, shadow patterns in 'Sanctuario'.
'Place of Rest' is ravishing! Delicious contrast of red and greens.

Hi Frank, I like these new paintings a lot. I could be wrong bit it seems like your palette may be intensifying a bit.
February 15, 2010 at 2:13 PM
Warmth and light and beauty!
