It seemed like this tree was calling out for attention, so I took a picture of it and painted it. It got it's 15 minutes of fame.

"Rosebud Tree" 6 in. x 6 in. - Oil on hardboard panel - by Bob Kimball
"Rosebud Tree"
Oil on panel
6 in. x 6 in.
I passed by a business park today and saw these purple trees that I dont' recall ever seeing these trees here before. I saw a groundskeeper there and asked him and he said they are Rosebud trees. Anyway, i decided to paint one and it was fun to experiment again with these colors.

"A Leaning Tree"
6 in. x 6 in. - Oil on hardboard panel - by Robert E. Kimball
This tree in the park caught my eye while I was scoping out the area looking for my next tree subject. I was attracted to the leaning characteristic of this one that made it stand out.

"Into the Woods" 5 in. x 7 in. - Oil on hardboard panel - by Bob Kimball
A painting from my visit to the park on Saturday, March 16th. I caught this area of the park on just the right time of day with the sun high above and to the right. It seemed like it was just the right time for all the colors to harmonize perfectly.

This painting has been sold.
I wanted a change of pace so I painted a still life. Even though I love painting landscapes, I really enjoyed painting this vase of roses.

"March in the Park II" 5 in. x 7 in. - Oil on hardboard panel - by Bob Kimball
This is from my latest "Trees" series, only longer in size. It is 6" x 18". I've been wanting to paint a larger painting like this lately, with a panorama view. I painted this one with brushes and a palette knife
"Sun at Sea" 5 in. x 7 in. - Oil on hardboard panel - by Bob Kimball
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.
