The Peace Tree

 "Peace Tree - Clans of the Onondaga"
16 x 20 Acrylic on Canvas

I was approached by a lady who is part Native American.  She asked if I would paint her the "peace tree" by Native American artist Oren Lyon's.  I was apprehensive to say the least.  This to me is a huge deal.  I hope I did it justice. I followed his basic design, but added touches of my own.  This is probably the most significant work I've ever done.  I consider it an incredible honor to be asked to paint this.

Some recent additions

With the return of the winter season, I have once again had those urges to do snowy cold scenes.  There's something about the way the snow drapes over the bows of a pine tree.  Something about the oranges and yellows the snow pics up from the sky on a winter evening.  Even the play of bright white and dark blue in the highlights and shadows all make me want to smear some color.
