STAND ON GUARD. By MICHELLE C. ROSS





This is the view from the rolling highway on the way to my lake cottage.  Most of the older wooden grain elevators have disappeared around the farms.  These newer structures stand straight and tall in the middle of the worst storms.  The setting sun made them glow upon the horizon.
This is another oil on maple panel painting.  It's a small work that only measures 5x7 inches. Perhaps the next time I will paint these standing sentries on a larger scale.  As long as the hail holds off!

New Work from Michelle C. Ross




SPRING LILIES


These little beauties are on their way to Australia as a wedding present for my dear Friend Darrel and his amazing FiancĂ© Claire.  Shush, don't tell, it's a surprise.  I leave on Saturday and the winter scene I've been working on is still too wet to pack.  This painting is 5x7 on a maple panel.  I don't mind tucking it into a carry on bag.  I'm sure the larger winter canvas painting would not do half as well in my suitcase!
