Fall colors series... to start

I have been working a new series of paintings focusing on the colors of fall. These two images are from near my Parent's cabin in Mantua, Utah (just East of Brigham City). I have been listening to Lord of the Rings audiobooks so I imagine Orcs and Hobbits all over in the hills.

Not totally convince about the frame... might need to be darkened a bit.

this is one of my favorite square inches of the painting...

..this part too, and see, look real close you can see Frodo and Sam hiding in the red bushes...

A Running Start

A painting and frame I finished a week ago. I tried to keep the image a little on the abstract side. I know it is totally representational, but I was able to finish quickly without fussing over textures and details.

"A Running Start"

 9x18 1/2 inches oil

 $925

 I couldn't think of a great name for it, I was listening to "The Hobbit" book on my Ipod, so when I look at it I think of Bilbo and the dwarfs. I call it a running start; sorta a pun on running water.... Image is 9x18 1/2 inches, framed size is 24 1/4x 15 1/4 inches.
