Parklands #1, oil on Arches oil paper, 16x12"
Yesterday, I went hiking in two different rural parks in the Louisville area. It was a beautiful, uplifting experience that yielded many photos consciously shot to use as references for drawing/painting. I decided after reviewing them on my computer, that it was time for another series. And since I am attempting to use more abstraction, what better time then now. Here is the first, which I worked and reworked, wiping and scraping paint on and off. There were a few moments that I wanted to give up on it, but the photo kept drawing me back in to the actual moment I was there. Plein air painting from memory!!!! Hopefully, I will be able to begin painting 2 with a bit more spring in my step!
LOVELY work!
