About this oil

I love the way meadows look, the soft flow of the grasses with their glowing colors and that was my attraction to this scene. Compositionally, this is a clean and elegant landscape made from three horizontal bands.

Now to make it interesting, to create a work of art.

There is an abundance of complexity in each band that produces a rhythm and a flow. The colors are more than they seem - numerous variations of blues and yellows invite the eye to move across the canvas and explore the nuances.

It is my challenge to find something attractive in nature and then to attempt to better it on canvas. I am not always successful, but today a good painting was finished, signed and offered to you…a fulfilling day.
