Sparkling Woodpile

8 x 10 inches, oil on board

The morning brought a hail storm. The layer of ice it left melted instantly with the rising sun and the steamy atmosphere created a prism for the sunlight to filter through. I took a few pictures of the event which were reference for this painting. Done with brush and palette knife.

First Snow


"First Snow"
impressionism
by
Jack Providenti
It is common to have an early snowfall in the mountains of New Mexico. This one stayed around for 5 days. Here it is early morning before there are footprints of man or beast. Fresh snow has the quality of soft shadows which create wonderful shadows. In painting it, I get a thrill from laying down the pure whites, as though I'm playing with snow.

This painting, or note cards & reproductions of it can be purchased theough PayPal wether you have a paypal account or not. Just send me an e-mail.

Mount Sienna

I was inspired by seeing the mass of yellow-browns and reds resting on these golden plains...so I named this painting "Mount Sienna". I'm pretty sure that it was given an "official" name at some point in time, but then there are miles and miles of prarie and mountains across Catron and Socorro counties in New Mexico. This is a 15"x30" gallery wrapped oil on canvas. It is for sale.

Reproductions of this painting are also available. Note cards are 6 for $14.00, you can create your own assortment...choose from a wide variety. Reproductions start at $12.00 each ( 8"x10").

The Outdoor Studio

My outdoor studio is a converted camper. It's at the base of the mountain. I can have up to four paintings in progress there. The windows and openess of it allows me to truly experience & be part of the enviroment....mountain, woods, valley, and even horses and elk grazing nearby add to the inspiration. In this photo I'm working on a painting of the Rio Grande which I'll soon publish.
