Tree and Hillside (Oil Bar Painting)



I finished this painting today. This oil bar landscape was inspired by photos that I took in October at Appleton Farms, in Ipswich, MA. (My reference photos are posted here on January 2nd and 3rd.) This morning, painted in the row of trees in the distance, then cleaned up the lines of the hillside and brightened the sky, and added a few more leaves on the tree. Then I hung the painting up on the studio wall and over the course of the day, made a lot of tiny corrections. If I discover anything else that needs to be corrected, I will take care of it when I will seal the edged of the canvas (starting tomorrow). So now I am ready to say that this is painting is finished. Not perfect, just finished.
