Foggy quiet

Oil on canvas, 17x19, cedar fence frame. Complementary fog and grass, upright woods with circular foreground. That's supposed to be stumps and a female walker resting.

Same garden jungle as previous. Same project of emphasizing the insides of this older woman. The shed and the woman are exhibiting the same idea. The prespective of the shadow is a bit bizarre and confusing. It is good to be out of the house and feel good, and old sheds may appear worthless if you don't take the time to appreciate their worth.
Oil on canvas,14x11. Combination of three photos after a visit to this mans huge jungle garden. This is part of project to bring seniors back to their importance. This man is full of wisdom, and confidence. Instead of our usual image of the old as over-the-hill, on the way down, this is to communicate without words the tremendous worth, you can feel it intuitively.
Oil on black paperboard,14x11. A variation of the sunset, is the moon setting with similar perspective. I am trying to paint nightime, therefore needed to make up the colors, but still keep what caused the memory to stick. This is a seen from my running route. I will do more of these night scenes and continue to try and figure the alluring elements.
