I really love these, although I’m still a big fan of the red pear. 🙂

I agree — it’s tough to beat a red pear.

All three are very nice (I never knew you painted btw). There is a wonderful, abstract softness to each of these pieces, yet with enough realism that the central focuses (or is it foci?) is still identifiable–which for me and my wife is our agreed upon favorite style. I’ll have to see if you have more posted.
I have to admit I really like the third painting. There is something about leaves when they turn colors in the fall. Takes me back to memories of a feild of trees near my parents home where the entire forest turned so red that it looked like it was on fire at sunrise. Truly breath taking.
Thanks for sharing your work.

Yes! Thank you! That’s exactly what I was trying to capture.
I love how everyone seems to have a very different reason for preferring whichever choice they’ve gone with. I’m torn between the first and third examples, but for some reason they both remind me of Narnia. The colors and soft focus make it easy for me to fall into the paintings, and go beyond the trees (in my mind, Narnia looks a bit like Sicily, so the distance is mountainous, with just a hint of salty ocean air). Go with your gut – I’m sure whichever version you choose, you’ll still be able to imbue it with the same touch of magic.

Thank you, Michael! I appreciate the compliment.
All three are very nice but my favorite would be the first one in the group. I think it would look great over your fireplace.
Thanks, Mom! Maybe the next time you visit, you’ll see a version of that one hanging in the living room.
I like all three but my favorite is #2 because it has more contrast. I have not painted in so long, I think you have inspired me to do so.
It’s always good to have multiple creative outlets.

I particularly like the second… Seems somehow youthful and optimistic, particularly between the others.
Have you ever made pizza, music, prose and/or paintings all at once?? Talk about multi-talented. I wonder if not watching TV contributes… 😉
It probably helps — at least with time management!
The first is my favorite. The trees are somber and blend into the sky; it feels like dusk in the NE in late October.
Thanks! Yes, there is something haunting about that one.
They are gorgeous, though the first one is my favorite. It makes me feel summery and hopeful. 🙂
Thank you! This time of year, I suppose we need all the summery and hopeful we can get!

Thanks! A touch of magic is always good.
I’ve noticed in the comments, we all favor different ones. Mine is the 2nd because of the way the green reflects on the red.
