SNOWFALL

                                                                SNOWFALL
                                                          6x6inch oil on panel

This last winter when with my son we went back to a magical place with quiet.  The only sound was the water moving over and around the stones in this icy cold stream.  It was picture perfect, I hope I did it justice to paint such perfection.      

"DREAM"

                                                                  "DREAM"
                                                         6x6 oil on wood panel

Standing on the wooden walkway crossing the stream, I peered down into the cool water rippling by and the gathering of fallen leaves.  The soft sounds of the water tumbling mixed with all the songs of birds made for a perfect time to stop and dream.

"NOW WATER"

With snow coming down I drove in silence.  The muffled sound of the road let my thoughts melted away like the snow flakes turning to droplets only to vanish and return again; and to think!  All this took place in my imaginary reality staring at a blank canvas.

This painting is 20x20 For questions a simple email at:schwartzart@earthlink.net

"CLOSE OF DAY"

Cold and hungry I had to stop and get just one more shot before the day came to a close.  This was last winter in Minnesota.  I have worked on this on and off and now that my show is over I got to revisit this canvas and make the changes I wanted to months-a-go... I know, I know... its early for a snow scene, but I thought I would post it anyway, after all, its my site.. :) Sure feel good to be back painting..  Oil on canvas 30x36 inch $3200

"PROPERTY LINE" original oil painting

 Awakening in the morning and seeing the sun just beginning to rise I realized it had stopped snowing, at least for the time being.  I took this shot in the hopes of a painting.   As I stood  looking out I thought "gosh, no walls"? In Southern California everything is walled in.  You're  lucky if you see, let alone meet, your neighbor, a kind of a commentary on my society as of late.  My son and his wife met their neighbors before they moved in.   Here the property line is open and free, bound only by the respect for one another.  Oil painting on a 6x6" Birch panel that is mounted onto a varnished wooden box: (SOLD)
