Thankful!
Thank You!
November is the month of Thanksgiving and I have so much to be thankful for . . . one being all of you who follow this blog and share this Fine Art journey with me.
"Guide Me on the Path"
is a 16"x20" Oil on Belgian Linen Canvas framed in Black Wood 24.75"x28.75" Plein Air Style Frame with Gold accents
"To The Place I Belong" 11"x14" Oil on Belgian Linen Panel sold in November
Each of these recent paintings are only 2 that reflect a longing of Place and Going Home. Even in my cloud study paintings one can see a "pathway" directing the viewer to a far-away destination. The viewer's imagination is the catalyst for the journey. The choice is yours. You make your own story within the image.
"Cloud Procession" 18"x24" Oil on Belgian Linen Canvas 20.25"x26.25" framed in warm silver floater
Contrasted with the two earlier land path paintings, "Cloud Procession" uses a cooler palette to the warm-toned palette of "To A Place I Belong," and "Guide Me On The Path."
"Cloud Plein Air Study" is a sweet, small 5"x7" Oil on Linen Panel painting I did outside one morning which started out cloudless and blue. This one is framed in a beautifully and would make a wonderful Stocking Stuffer for the outdoors-person.
This is the painting you see me painting in my opening excerpt, 
"Edisto Sunrise" is 11"x14" Plein Air Oil on Linen Panel painted on location alla prima as the sun rose behind me. The warm sunshine really contrasted with the really cool shadows on the sandy beach. Again, did you notice the "path" walking you casually down the shoreline toward the bend in the distance? What's beyond the bend??
There are many more paintings exhibiting this "come with me down the way," theme. You might enjoy seeing them all at my website, www.maryhoffmanfineart.com
Until we meet again here in cyberspace, may you enjoy a safe and restful Thanksgiving with all your favorite people and remember I am Thankful for you!
Warmest,
Mary
