Paintings for O

I did some paintings for my friend O. Here's what O said he likes:

• The colors brown, green and red
• Landscapes, including my Tree in Field Painting
• Abstract artwork, including my Finger Colors Painting
• My Paintings Inspired by Meredith Kuntzsch

First I painted Weeping Willow, 12x17in, from the rough paper*. If you look closely at the tree, all the strokes are really abstract, and the brown mountain in the background grounds the whole design.

Second, I painted Red Sky, 7x10in. For this painting, I used the same oil pastel over watercolor technique I developed in my Kuntzch series. However, this painting was done using my own ideas. I also incorporated red, green, and brown (the color you make when you mix those two).
*Note: A coworker was nice enough to give me some old rough watercolor paper. I've used it here and also for the paintings Fisherman Casting Net and Self Portrait with Paintbrush.
