Work in Progress

This is a new landscape in oil, as yet untitled. Another phone shot, gotta love the convenience. I am happy with this piece so far. However, there is a shadow across the top of the sky - which isn't blue, anyway look at my website for final shots (when I get them finished).

Bright Stream

What has been a work in progress, Bright Stream (16x12, oil on canvas panel) is complete. This is a shot from my phone so there is a bit of glare and the color isn't great. Iwill post this on my web site when I get a good shot. Go to http://www.janetfons.com/ for all final photos of my artwork.

New landscape painting

A new oil on canvas: Mirroring Trees, 16x20.
This is from a trip to the Bush Nature Preserve near O'Fallon, MO. It is a marsh area and is quite beautiful.
