Well the days are getting shorter and even though it’s a beautiful summer here in Idaho the season change is on the horizon. From the garden ideas spin as life flows from my watering wand and the plants respond with amazing work. An impression is born recalling planting those tiny seeds.
This painting began several weeks ago just debating on what medium to use. Oil dominates my pallet and found it interesting that I was leaning toward acrylic. Admittedly conventional acrylics were not at work but rather a combination of products I have become familiar with over the years. The subject is so three dimensional it seamed fun to build shapes from the surface to achieve a more 3-D effect. The relief flora shapes would also help to place interesting light and shadow.
This work was just completed and represents the forth of its kind. Certainly a departure from my plein air or studio work but then some times it’s just fun to depart into Summers Light.
Happy summer painting,
