Heart shadows

I spotted this scene and thought it would be interesting to paint. I made the greens with cobalt,
lemon yellow and smuggled red into it. Brush and palette knife. 10"x10" oils on canvas board.

Lovely, Bill. I always look for the shape of a heart in everything :) I even see one in my photo of my flower in this comment.
It's so nice to see your artwork and visit your blog again~~~

It's dramatic and mystical, Bill!
Say you know about OPM (Outdoor Painters of MN) don't you? Nice group, nice opportunities to grow and paint! Plus you are closer to them than I am, I have to drive an hour to participate!

Thanks Celeste! I was in the boat fishing when I saw this.(Always looking at the scenery instead of watching my line..)
I didn't catch any fish, but this scene made me smile too! So I painted it! :)

Thanks Jan! I thought it was an interesting shape/design when I saw it! The two trees in the heart shadow seemed to embrace eachother,
reminded me of love at first sight!
(..So would I call it a love painting?) :)

Thanks Judy! I haven't heard of OPM. I get up to Grand Marais for the quick paint,(when I can) but to do the trip is my goal! I met Stape this summer and he is one cool fellow! I introduced him & his close friends to TMORA in Mpls. (The Museum Of Russian Art)
There was one of my gilded frames displayed! Of coarse it had a painting in it! :)

Bill, this is quite lovely! The trees do appear as though they are embracing. Very nice.
