Feels like Cristmas. Very beautiful lights, ice and snow covered tress are marvelously done.

Thank you. I like Christmas very much so it usually inspires me to create some of my more striking paintings.

What do you use to paint these? I want to use it to!
π: 0 β©: 1
Oil paint. Mostly Winton brand. Only use Titanium white, no other white paint.
Also, I just use mineral spirits- no linseed oil or turpentine.
Β Plus, tiny brushes and patience.
It usually takes me about a month to complete a painting, sometimes longer.

This is some insanely stunning landscape! The snow on the trees is amazing and don't get me started on the crazy icicles!

Thank you. It's kind of strange that I like to paint Winter scenes while living in Florida all my adult life. My childhood memories of Winter and my fondness for the weird but beautiful are what fuel my imagination.

Even before reading the description, the first word that popped into my head when seeing this painting was "homecoming." Well-done! I absolutely love the little archway of "Christmas lights."

Thank you. I'm glad you relate to my work so well.

Another great one! I like it that there is a focal point, many of your paintings have almost the same amount of details all over the place, which is nice to discover, but I rather like images with a more clear composition and contrasts (with some rather "empty" areas).

Thank you. I'm influenced by Bosch's 'busy' paintings but sometimes I have a tendency to put almost more detail on the edges of some of my paintings than the middle.
I would like to do 'quieter' more moody paintings from time to time.

Your winter landscapes are always beautiful. The light and hues are gorgeous. I love the Christmas tree...and that arch in the centre is exactly like one of mine, and I also had lights around it until the solar panel stopped working. I also (think I) recognise the squarer trellis arch from another of your paintings.

Thank you, Tara! The original painting looks better than the photo- the sky, especially. It's a bit more purple and pink than what is shown here.

I think most things look better in their original form. I have the same problem photographing my sculptures. They never look as nice as they do in reality. I remember when I received your commissions...they did look great in the photographs but they were even better in reality...the colours so vivid etc.

Thank you, Tara. My friend Susan at my gallery is a sculptor and she has the same problem. Sculptures are literally 3D which means you have to inhabit the same space as they do to fully appreciate them rather than relying on 2D photos of them to go by.

I do find that people whoΒ buy my sculpts are even more complimentary when they receive them.

I can't even begin to describe how cool this is. You should submit this piece to my Holiday Contest sweetiebatch.deviantart.com/joβ¦

Well I do see the coral reef being covered in ice in this fantastical scene as usual.

Coral reef is good. I was just thinking of ice formations with some kind of rocks and trees underneath.
The three luminorphs at the top were painted from photos of jellyfish and a sea snail which I modified. The lower two were made up.
