Where the Crows Gather....Carol Chretien

Plant a tree...renew your resources. That is something that we can do.

This painting is one of my favorite trees in my town. It lives at the edge of the woods and looks as dead as can be until Spring. That in itself is pretty renewing.

I think of it as an old sentinel standing guard at what is left of dwindling open space but thankfully our town does have a fair share that is open.

If you like the painting you can check it out on Ebay at the buy now price as listed.

Tending 8x8 oil on board

A little experimenting today on some canvas that was a bit like burlap...not likely to use it again but I muscled through it.

The Grocery Sack Purse 8x10 oil on board

This lady had a purse that was made from strips of plastic grocery bags, I saw her at an art show and was really impressed with the idea of making things with those plastic bags. I glued crinkled paper to my canvas board and painted on top of that, just to get a fresh look. I hope you like it.
