At Wood's Edge-Landscape

Oil on 7x5 archival canvas panel.

This is for the WDE at Wet Canvas. Jean graciously supplied the reference photos.
When it came to landscape paintings, I always kinda drug my feet. I'd think... too much information/details in front of me. Always a bit intimidated I suppose.

But more and more I see that there's a world of creative freedom when doing a landscape.
With that in mind, I handled this one almost like an abstract (something else I tend to avoid..). In doing this one, I felt the freedom! Just being involved in balancing colors...line control...achieving a focal point. Just PAINTING!

Summer Sun into Autumn Sun

This landscape was posted on Wed. It was done quickly and posted immediately thereafter. It was a summer scene and I felt it was devoid of life...just "blah".

I appreciate the input of my artist friends... Celeste Bergin and Pam Holnback. Please check out their fine blogs. They made several suggestions that I immediately recognized as true. I was merely temporarily "blinded" because of the freshness of the work.

For one thing, I am presently surrounded with fall colors and my muse just didn't want to tackle so much summer green. So I re-worked it into an Autumn landscape.

I'm happier with it now...but, of course (as always), there remain areas in question.

Here's a side by side for easy comparison.
