Detail of Tree and Hillside (Oil Bar Painting as of March 11, 2015)



I didn't have a chance to paint today, but here is a detail of the painting I am working on, as it looked yesterday. This is an oil bar landscape based on photos that I took in October at Appleton Farms, in nearby Ipswich, MA. What I worked on yesterday was trying to suggest fallen leaves on the path, using color and shape. I am using the direction of the brush strokes to reinforce the perspective of the path. This is not easy. . . .
