New Paintings This weekend

Completed two larger works this weekend.

This first one is a tree in the old cemetary in Auburn. I didn't paint in the headstones, preferring a less macabe representation. Still has an erie, ethereal type of presence. This is the second painting I've done of this tree, and find it very compelling.

This second one is from a scene Debbie and I saw while stopped at a Garage Sale in Redmond, WA. The bike had a very rusty chain and spokes, so I'm left to believe it is here for yard decoration purposes only. The driveway to the right was sloped, which allowed the rather unusual perspective and angles, which were part of the appeal of the scene.
