Rolling Thunder 24x30 Oil


This is not one of my usual daily paintings. It's been an unusual week, so I thought it was a good time to post one I painted when Tonya and Hallie were little. I painted this back before I became allergic to oil paint. That really sent me reeling looking for a medium I could work with. I asked Tonya and Hallie to sit in this chair and look scared because of a thunderstorm. They were pretty good actors. Not for sale.

This is precious. Reminds me of Norman Rockwell paintings.

I agree, Brad. I totally thought "Rockwell" when I saw this painting. It is wonderful!!!! LOVE this.


I use the water soluble oils all the time..can't take the smell of turps and don't have any good ventilation down here in my basement studio.

Thank you Maryanne,
I checked your site and love your use of color as well as composition and the way the paint does appear to dance on the canvas. Thank you so much for your generous words!

Kay,
Thank you so much! I didn't know you used the water soluable oils. Those solvents are so toxic, it can be really bad news if they catch up to you.

Wow, that's very cool. Great storytelling painting. But I do like your new style better--it's more emotional.

Rockwell-esque.
We're all on the same page here.
Love it.
