| Holland marsh river at Bradford oil on 18x24 canvas |
The whole thing has been a challenge and I think it still is a "Work in Progress", it shall go on the "But" wall for a while.
I painted without a drawing, never done that before, just roughed in the general shapes with very thin Burnt Sienna, and then went from there, the challenges were the leaves in the blue sky and the reflections on the water, and now I notice a tree branch in the top right hand corner that will have to come out!
Ah well have to wait till the brown dries.
In the mean time I'm going to tackle two horse and riders.
"Such Fun" as the English say!

John, I don't know how you do this, but it is splendid. I truly love the shadows that you have captured. I say, take it off of the "But" wall and let the world see it.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ellen, I'm glad you enjoyed this! It has now been moved to the "let it dry and then varnish it" wall.
DeleteThanks again

I'm having a catch-up day today!! It certainly looks hot and quite different than your other area paintings. I think the trouble with heat and humidity is that the blueness of the sky is almost white which in turn makes the contrast with the darker colors more pronounced.That said it is a neat painting.
ReplyDeleteWe visited this spot last week but this time in the afternoon, and what a difference! The far shore is full of fallen trees and hence the complex reflection which confused me.
DeleteBut I'm glad you think it's neat!
