Jill Millward Artwork

Today’s trees, a nice change of scenery. This is beautiful McCall, Idaho.

Red Cliffs

I went out and painted Ref Cliff’s today in the Boise foothills. The painting is small, loose, and abstracted. I was trying to just catch the colors of the hills more than render it exactly. That was hard for me, and I felt unsure about it. But then my friend came over to buy a few of my little painting, she’s going out of town and will miss my sale, and she bought Red Cliffs, and 5 more of my little paintings! Woo hoo!

Firebreak 2

I liked this view so much that I painted it again.

This one is 12×12, the other is 8×8. They will both be in my studio sale. What doesn’t sell locally I’ll put on Etsy on December 12th. In my completely neglected etsy shop. I can’t even remember my shop name, I’ll get back to you on that.

The sky is different in this one because it was cloudy with a tiny bit of patchy blue and with purple streaks. I’m happy with this one too. I love that green grass is growing back where the fire burned everything.

I’m loving the freeness of landscape painting and the aloneness of Plein Air painting. My new art studio is outside. But it’s really cold.

Crestline

Very windy here today.

Firebreak

I’m really happy with this one.🍂

Castlerock and Tablerock

This is sort of my view from my kitchen window. I say sort of because I do see Castlerock and Tablerock from my house, but from a different angle. I went out and painted the early morning shadows on the hills. If it’s sunny, I’ll give it another try in the morning. The sky was beautiful this morning.

Nov 15 trees

The leaves are coming down. It was a cold, grey, drizzly day in Boise. But still pretty. I painted this one at Marianne Williams Park. I’m enjoying Plein air painting. 8X8″ oil on panel

Ponderosa Pines

I’ve been working on this pine tree painting. Up above the foothills in Boise there are beautiful Ponderosa Pine forests that remind me of the Redwood forests in Northern California near where I am from. The trees just aren’t as big and tall.
