Big Prarie Meadow, oil on gessobord, 5x7"
This is a quick "sketch" if you will of Big Prairie Meadow, an area of Bernheim Forest and Arboretum that is filled with wild grasses, wild flowers, butterflies, various species of birds and forest rodents, and is the home to quail! It is also filled with sunshine most of the day. When I set my easel up on a hilly overlook this particular morning, a controlled burn was taking place at the farthest point away from where I was. I chose not to add it too the painting because it would have been confusing. But it added beautiful wafting silver smoke in the distance to the already bright and colorful landscape.
