blackberry vines

Four years ago I named a painting Edge of Winter. After a couple group shows it went to one of my galleries and stayed there until I picked it up a couple weeks ago. You know what happened next...I washed it off and repainted this winter scene from a photo taken on a dog-walk with Annie and my two grandsons. This summer, a good crop of blackberries will be where last year's vines are now. This painting is titled Edge of Winter II.

  2. Hi Donna,
    Thanks for your nice comments. I can't believe I painted blackberry vines...I've dug so many of them out of areas where they were unwelcome. Happy painting to you!

  4. Yes, the word exquisite also came to my mind. I feel "in" the painting...how brave to wash and re-do, this won't hang around long!

  5. I love this painting. You seem to take rather ordinary scenes and turn them into stunning works of art. I am especially drawn to the colors and texture of this piece. Very, very nice!
