Kennesaw Mountain in Winter

Day 1 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days, hosted by artist Leslie Saeta.

Oil on 6" x 6" canvas with 1.5" sides, painted black. (No need to frame.)

This month I'm going to try something different for me--abstract or impressionistic landscapes.

Time to loosen up a bit and be more expressive and painterly. 

This view of Kennesaw Mountain and Little Kennesaw Mountain is from an empty field in Kennesaw.

It's a better view than from our backyard, where there are too many trees and houses in the foreground.

Feeding Frenzy

Day 30 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days!!!!!  Pastel.  2.5" x 3.5".

Our pond has a lot of goldfish, none bigger than about seven inches long. Any 

larger and they get eaten by the herons!  Our fish keep multiplying--we have tons of babies,

The pond is deep, with enough vegetation for the fish to hide in, and enough for them to eat.

But in warm weather they really like additional food, and they go crazy when we feed them!

So much fun to watch.

  Thank you so much to all of you who have followed me on this challenge!  I really appreciate

the comments, compliments, and sales.  I hope to do this again in January, and also hope that 

I'll post more paintings before then!

Canadian Sunset

Day 29 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days.  Pastel.  2.5" x 3.5".

We saw so many beautiful sunsets in Nova Scotia. This was in 

Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, a fun little town with lots

to see and do.

The Swooping Trees

Day 28 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days. Pastel. 2.5" x 3.5". When we used to take the kids to the beach at Kiawah Island, they were always happy to get to this spot after the long drive--almost there! The River Road on John's Island has the most beautiful stretch of trees that lean over the road. Our son named them "The Swooping Trees", and we've called them that ever since. Now our grandchildren are so happy to see them every summer!

(Gifted to our son.)

The Purple Cow

Day 27 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days.  Pastel.  2.5" x 3.5".

I have loved purple my whole life.  My father couldn't stand it!  But he did like to recite often 

the poem by the American poet, Gelett Burgess. The poem was written in 1895. The poet

was annoyed that he was mostly known for The Purple Cow, and wrote a sequel about it. 

Many other poets of the time wrote parodies of it. I would love to see a purple cow!

(Painting is sold!)

Fall Pasture

Day 26 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days.  Pastel.  2.5" x 3.5".

This pasture is behind our daughter's house in Virginia.  Sometimes there are cows grazing.

Beautiful scenery in all seasons.

(Gifted to our daughter.)

Baby Sea Turtle

Day 25 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days.  Pastel.  2.5" x 3.5".

At Kiawah Island this summer, we were on the beach and saw some crows trying to carry away 

baby sea turtles. The nest was back in the dunes, and we found 3 or 4 babies. Everyone on

the beach carefully protected the babies all the way to the ocean--a long journey since it was low tide.
