Landscapes

Snow Melt is an oil on canvas painting of a scene in late winter, early spring. The sky is overcast with blue-gray clouds stretching across the painting, but the sun casts a pale yellow glow across the horizon, suggesting sunrise. On the left side of the painting lies a snow-covered hillside; the snow is grayish in hue rather than white. The hill slopes down toward a stream that flows in jagged fashion through the middle of the painting. On the right side of the stream, the hillside next to the stream is partially covered by snow, but higher up toward the horizon, the ground now appears where the snow has melted. In the center of the stream a person is crossing the stream, facing to the right. The person is small in contrast to the vast landscape around him or her.

Summer in Sancerre is an oil on canvas painting of the artist’s sister’s home in Sancerre, France. A tranquil blue sky with small wispy clouds occupies the top half of the painting. Dominating the center of the painting is a two-story, cream-colored house with a pale brown roof and chimneys at both ends. Brown shutters adorn the windows on the front of the house, and a brown door stands open in the center. A gray stone wall, about the height of the first story, stands to the right side of the house. Behind the house is a patchwork of fields, varying in color from pale green to brown to yellow, suggesting various crops. To the left of the house and in the foreground are lush green grape vines.

Sunset on Twin Lake is an oil on canvas painting. Pink and peach-colored clouds melt into the orange-yellow of the setting sun across the darkening sky, and the lake below reflects both the colors above and the green shores in the distance.

Fall on the Mississippi is an oil on canvas painting. In this landscape the Mississippi River flows gently through the orange, green, and yellow autumn woods of northern Minnesota. The river is no more than a shallow brook at its headwaters. Above the gray band of sky hints that winter is on its way.
Headwaters in Winter, an oil on canvas painting, depicts the headwaters of the Mississippi River and Lake Itasca, the source of the river. The winter sun glows white in the cloudless sky. On our left snow partially blankets the lake and frosts the boundary rocks setting off the dark waters of the river in the foreground. Snow-covered pine and spruce trees stand silent watch on the far shore.

Mountain Village in France is an oil on canvas painting. It features three steep dark mountains that serve as a backdrop to the village cottages, clustered in the left corner of the painting. Waterfalls drop from the center and right mountains and join in a small pool of turquoise water near the base of the right mountain, opposite the village. Though they differ in size and dimensions, all the cottages sport white exteriors and rust-brown roofs. Between the village and the mountains is a field and forest of lush green.

Ahead of them and on both sides of the path stand tall trees with green and yellow leaves. In the foreground flowers of blue, red, and purple hues cluster in abundance.
