SKY FIRE. SOLD

As I'm going down the road towards East Texas all of a sudden I see a cleared area from a brush fire. The tall pines where there and just the bottoms where touched by the flames.The sky had a guilty look to it as if it was the culprit lightning the woods. It was a strange and exciting scene as you pass everything went back to a normal Forrest.  By Artist Doug Carter. 7 X 5 Oil Painting.Sky Fire.

"WINDY"

Painting the skyscape series has been very exciting it could go on forever. I wanted to capture the movement in the sky with this one. If you listen you can almost hear the wind whipping through the trees. Nature is such beauty all by itself and painting it is endless.

HAT TREE. SOLD


Here's something you don't see painted every day. Hat Rack full of family favorites ready for the next outing. Was thinking about the opportunity to paint all theses different colors and styles all at once. Changed some of the hat colors to protect the innocent no just to have better color harmony. Ant thought comment feel free.

"MORNING MOON" SOLD

Something a bit cooler , I went from fire now to ice.
About a month ago I had this strange feeling as I was walking to look over my shoulder. This is what I saw the morning mist and the moon playing peek a poo with me. One minute you would see it the next it was gone. I thought how do I capture this moment and do it justice? The colors are very muted and yet peaceful I was very careful to keep all the tones close on the sky. This is my painting of "MORNING MOON" thanks for looking. Artist Doug Carter, 5 X 7 oil painting .
