Out West

 

“Out West”

Oil on Canvas Board, 8” x 10”

A beautiful western field in the spring, I really wanted to capture depth in this painting.

We were riding our bikes in absolutely picturesque rural England. 

The view was often so perfect, it looked make believe! Thanks to my brother in law Rick,

 we were up and out by 8 - I rarely swing that on my own.

This is a study - a larger version is in the future.

So, another small painting. I struggled with the foreground, scraping it out three times!

In desperation I borrowed a gorgeous field from another gorgeous painting, this by Roy Connelly.

I learned so much in this process. Not totally original, but I had a blast!

I have just finished “My Ántonia” by Willa Cather, and found it to be the story of my great grandparents who settled South Dakota. Raised in a Chicago suburb, I was lucky enough to spend several weeks each summer on my Aunt Arlene and Uncle Bud’s farm in the Black Hills. I wandered the fields, met cows, caught frogs and watched chickens - they made me nervous!

“Field in Provence”

We traveled to Southern France a few years ago and I still remember the glorious fields of 

lavender and cypress trees. I’m so ready for spring.

I have gone over this several times. It needed it, and it is finally done! There is just something Alive about those tall trees you see in southern France. They are majestic and dominate the skyline.
