I am getting together a group of 30 6x6 paintings for a special show over the holidays and this is one of them. Besides painting new subjects, I'm going back through images I've enjoyed working with and want to do again in a different size. This one was first posted as a 5"x6"painting in May. Click here to see it. I love the subject, the light and the colors.

Janice Druian is a central Oregon artist that has a way of finding and capturing on canvas the drama of our region. The way she uses light in her paintings really stands out for me, as do her strong compositions. One of the things I love about this high desert country is the ever-changing sky (I know Montana is "big sky country", but I think eastern Oregon is, too)! Janice not only "gets" the feel of the clouds and the landscape, but also the rural feel of it. See more of her paintings at her website www.druianstudios.com.

It's amazing to me how this place changes throughout the year. The light is definitely getting "bluer" and everything looks softer. . .
