I'm glad to see the change of the season. I like the winter but I like the longer days to paint more often outside. I used very little brush work in this painting using mostly the palette knife.

"River in Autumn" 5 in. x 7 in. - Oil on hardboard panel - by Bob Kimball
This area of southwestern Utah was locked in my memory for a long time and I finally painted it on a panel. It is painted with a heavy texture with a palette knife.
6 in. x 6 in. original oil painting of a patch of sunlight in a late summer afternoon. I painted this from memory from a trip to southern Utah. It is painted on a hardboard panel and it is signed and varnished.
5 in. x 7 in. original landscape oil painting of a rocky river running down-stream through a mountain forest. It is painted on a hardboard panel. Signed and varnished.
I made this painting from imagination. It is not based on any real life scene that I have ever actually seen. I call it "Secret Fishing Hole" because that's the first thing that came to my mind after I finished it.
