 Trickle

This painting was one of my favorites that I had seen the last time that I was at the gallery.  Rickard has such a special talent in which he is able to use oil paints to create this wonderful painting.  His vivid use of the oil paints carried throughout the painting.  The use of the element rhythm showed through at the water trickled down the mountain.


 Singer Road Looking East

Singer Road Looking East was my favorite painting of the exhibit.  One of the many reasons is because I actually am fimiliar with this road- which creates a different view of the painting than the others.  He was able to use such real life like colors.  I could see myself walking up a similar house driveway and  living in the country this is what it looks like when and after it snows on a cold wintery day.  The painting in a way really brings you in to it.
