Painting – Page 18 – Jill Millward Artwork

Here’s today’s trees. This morning I went running along the Boise River greenbelt with some friends and the reflections of the trees in the river caught my attention. This is a first hit, I’ll put some more time into it to see where it goes. I’m way out in new territory with these trees andContinue reading “Trees by the river”

Today’s Tree

This morning I was at the dog park and noticed how beautiful the trees were with the sun shining through from behind. I painted it this evening.

Dude on the beach

I worked on the couple sitting on a log. I like the way they are painted loosely, sometimes I get hung up on details and everything gets really tight. I have no interest in photo realism (for me to paint that is, I appreciate other people’s work) and I have been thinking of ways toContinue reading “Dude on the beach”
