Landscapes

Winter on Yellow Creek is an oil on canvas painting of twin trees, joined at the base and stripped of their leaves, but spreading their snow-kissed branches across the width and height of the canvas. Winding past the trees in the middle of the painting is a creek, its water yellowish from the dim sun above. And a narrow gray road cuts diagonally across the scene from the bottom left corner and disappears into the dense forest in the background of the painting.

Snow Melt is an oil on canvas painting of a scene in late winter, early spring. The sky is overcast with blue-gray clouds stretching across the painting, but the sun casts a pale yellow glow across the horizon, suggesting sunrise. On the left side of the painting lies a snow-covered hillside; the snow is grayish in hue rather than white. The hill slopes down toward a stream that flows in jagged fashion through the middle of the painting. On the right side of the stream, the hillside next to the stream is partially covered by snow, but higher up toward the horizon, the ground now appears where the snow has melted. In the center of the stream a person is crossing the stream, facing to the right. The person is small in contrast to the vast landscape around him or her.
Summer in Sancerre is an oil on canvas painting of the artist’s sister’s home in Sancerre, France. A tranquil blue sky with small wispy clouds occupies the top half of the painting. Dominating the center of the painting is a two-story, cream-colored house with a pale brown roof and chimneys at both ends. Brown shutters adorn the windows on the front of the house, and a brown door stands open in the center. A gray stone wall, about the height of the first story, stands to the right side of the house. Behind the house is a patchwork of fields, varying in color from pale green to brown to yellow, suggesting various crops. To the left of the house and in the foreground are lush green grape vines.
