"Morning Sunshine"and "Sun Struck" By Debra Tritt Kreiger

"Morning Sunshine" 8"x10" Acrylic on canvas board
I was happy to be able to paint with my friends from the SVPAP the last two Mondays. Thanks to Petra who was kind enough to share her wonderful property with us. I was drawn to the shapes the shadows made on the barn and the color. I liked having the flowers in partial shade in the foreground. This is part of Petra Wirth's barn and was painted plein air. Thank you Petra!
"Sun Struck" 8x10 Acrylic on a canvas panel
I wanted to capture the wonderful sun light that was highlighting the bright red bee balm that was in full bloom. As the sun kisses little areas of the grasses, tree leaves and shows us the stumps and rock hiding in the shadows. The curve of the tree just framed everything perfectly. There is a stream flowing behind the flowers. Very peaceful!
