Hilltop House Original Oil Painting on Copper

It is the quality of light and the shapes that move me to paint something. I love the light on houses that have a simple shape.There is just something so solid about the shapes revealed in this way. The trees of winter are a different proposition. Without their leaves, they are less solid and more of a challenge to paint without getting into painting every single branch. There are some artists that will paint every detail, but I am not one of them. I only wish to paint enough to let the viewer complete the idea for themselves.

Once again, I have shown the painting in two very different lighting situations so that you can get more of an idea how the copper gleaming through the semi-transparent oil paint changes with the light.

This particular stand is my very favorite as it looks like a rocky outcropping on the hillside.
