'Grandmother's Memory (Copyright 2008)
This is a 30" x 24" acrylic on canvas. I was inspired by Elaine's story of hunting for Pink Lady''s Slippers on Sunday afternoons with her grandmother. The various woodland images evoke the landscape they would have encountered in their search for the rare orchid as light filtered through the canopy of trees: mountain laurel, ferns, periwinkle, pachysandra and fallen leaves surrounding the pink lady's slipper, the sought after orchid at the end of the hunt.
Sharon wanted a watercolor of a winter snow scene. She looked through my website gallery of landscapes and chose the acrylic painting of a summer storm: "Fallen Tree". She asked me to paint this landscape as it was in January, with snow on frozen Deep Creek Lake in Garrett County, Maryland.
