Acrylic Painting of a White Horse in Snow - Time Lapse - Artist Timothy Stanford "Snow Day" - 11x14” - Acrylic on Canvas - It’s been a while since I’ve done any animal paintings, so I wanted to try another. This piece was inspired by all the snow we’ve had here recently. At first, I created a more detailed background, but when it detracted from the horse’s form and movement, I simplified it. This inspired me to also simplify the color palette and give the illusion that the horse was a part of the snow itself. I really enjoyed accentuating that illusion and may try a similar piece with water in the future.

Acrylic Landscape Painting of a Forest Path - Time Lapse - Artist Timothy Stanford "A New Dawn" - 12x9” - Acrylic on Canvas - For Good Friday, I wanted to do a painting with a bit of an Easter theme. Sara showed me a photo she had taken of the old Lambertville Outlet Lock and I thought it would be neat to add a door and give it a tomb-like feeling. I actually redid the foreground several times before being satisfied with it. I wanted the warm, sun-lit path to draw the viewer’s gaze toward the tomb and the mysterious light coming from inside.

Acrylic Landscape Painting of a Misty Morning with Heron - Time Lapse - Artist Timothy Stanford "Out of the Mist" - 12x16” - Acrylic on Canvas - This is the companion piece to “Into the Light.” I loved the mysterious feeling in this scene and the way the bird was framed so perfectly by the foreground leaves and misty sunlight. It was a challenge making the foreground interesting, but once I started adding the blue and green leaves the whole painting came together smoothly.

Acrylic Painting of a Spring Wild Flower - Time Lapse - Artist Timothy Stanford "A Touch of Spring" - 12x9” - Acrylic on Canvas - My niece asked me to paint this flower that she found. I haven’t done anything close to portrait work in a while, so getting the tones right in the fingers was a small challenge. Overall I enjoyed the simplicity of this piece.
