Image from novel in progress...romantic/suspense

I started the background for another painting on a 16" x 20" canvas in acrylic. This one has a lot left to do! I'm thinking it may need a moose in this one perhaps!
......November....I'm thinking something a little more disturbing, from my second novel now...maybe....it'll be a surprise!






This is a rough sketch of an idea that comes from my 2nd novel. I hope to integrate it into the painting. I'll make more spooky adjustments to the shed and scenery, but this is the basic idea.

...................Naaaa... changed my mind on this idea! The above background wouldn't be right. I'll have to start this one from scratch and go back to the idea of a moose in the above painting again....or something like that.

By the Sea

This one is acrylic on 16" x 20" canvas board.

This one has changed a great deal since this photo...............................








........I've gone from day to night. It goes with my first novel. It is still unfinished but is getting much closer! The water is not right...I've worked it out in a sketch so I'll be re-doing at least the surface of the waves.

Hope

This 8" x 10" acrylic on canvas board painting was inspired by a cold windy day. It depicts a glimmer of hope in the middle of chaos. A place many people have been before, I'm sure.

"Home Sweet Home" (incomplete)

This acrylic painting is the first one I've done since high school on actual canvas. I like the smoother surface! It is on a 16" x 20" canvas. I still need to complete the leaves and flowers and I'm planning on adding a bird or two, or maybe some bugs or butterflies. I guess I'll see when I get to that stage!

OK, back to work!
