I'm not a very good blogger. The other day someone told me he saw my blog and I realized it's almost been a year since I posted anything. Embarrassing. I don't think many people look at this, but just in case you are...This painting is 2 feet by 4 feet, oil on masonite board. It was inspired by a wire tree created by my uncle in 1970. A lot of my tree paintings have been inspired by his work. Thanks Uncle Ken! Since this photo was taken I added a green leaf on the pear. I think I like it, but it doesn't feel finished so I'll probably readdress it at some point.
This painting is titled, Worlds Without Number, 22"x28" oil on canvas. It was inspired by my creation paintings (if you haven't seen that series, take a look at the link on the right hand side of this page under "more paintings").I'm not sure what to say about this except that I love it. It makes me want to lay on my lawn on a summer night and explore the sky.
I finished both of these paintings fall 2008.

Courtney these are BEAUTIFUL. You are such a talented artist. I'm glad Ken's trees could be an inspiration. I see them so much that I sometimes take for granted how pretty some of them are. Thanks for your post.
I showed the paintings in the blog to Ken. He said the tree you saw in 1970 had to be really inspiring since he was on his mission in 1970. He made his first tree in 1976. I think you must have been watching from heaven that year.
