Patch of Path, 9 x 12, oil on panel, by Ron Donoughe

This was painted on one of those dark, damp days that you wanted to stay in bed. Fortunately the sun peeked out enough for me to do this sketch. It is a simple statement about how light and shadow fall on snow.

Ron, this is too beautiful to be a "sketch". I really like the loose and painterly quality. Nanty-Glo is where I was born and raised (a coal miner's daughter).

I think this is lovely and am awed by the light play, especially on snow.

I love it, Ron - it actually reminds me of sand dunes.

The topography is fab. I just roll of that bank.
The morning light is well done!!

I love the 'truth' of your work, Ron. I have looked at this several times, and will probably come back to look at it some more. Wonderful work.
