Plains Sunset

September 4, 2017 Ray Kelly

It's been awhile since my last post...crazy, busy summer:) 

This is a oil I started a long time ago and just got around to finish it up. I just wanted to paint a simple sunset - no distractions... no mountains, or flowers or fence posts... just a sunset by itself.

This piece is a small oil painting I did of the Grand Canal in Venice. The work was given, as a gift, to our good friends, Pam and Andy Clower who live in Germany. A thank you present for being our tour guides as we traveled through, Venice, Croatia, Bosnia and Slovenia.

Sunlight on Leaves Revisited

May 31, 2017 Ray Kelly

 

In reference to my previous post "Sunlight on Leaves", I have had a few inquiries If that was the photograph or a picture of my oil painting.

It was a picture of my oil painting, Needless to say I took it as a wonderful compliment. Below I've attached the photo (left) and Oil (right).

Sunlight on Leaves

May 21, 2017 Ray Kelly

This is one of my favorite oils. Taken from a photo I took while we were at Coit Tower in San Francisco. A beam of sunlight was streaming through the leaves and brightly highlighted a small section of the hedge.

On the Frontage Road to Cascade

May 2, 2017 Ray Kelly

Here is a oil painting I am working, taken from a photograph I took of the Missouri river somewhere between Great Falls and Cascade. The quiet subtle beauty of the landscape, with the reflections of the trees in the slow moving Missouri, I thought would make for a wonderful composition for a painting.
