Frosted Trees

A little reminder of Christmas; I used a dark gesso and worked up.  I'm still trying to finish it with a sheen. My middle daughter has dibs on this one.

Krystal hates the sun in this. She says it looks like a nasty yellow spider with a fried egg center.  So I'm painting it out and painting in stars and a dark, snowy sky.  We'll see. 

Jamaica Moon

Last year, we spent Spring Break in Jamaica. One morning, we rose early to photograph the sunrise. But I wanted to paint it as a moonrise. Using the photos below, I did a composite.
