Seeing Green

 I've been feeling the need to paint something GREEN,
after being at the beach so long,

"World's End"
11 x 14 
oil on paper

I did this from an image I took on a walk at
on an overcast day recently. 
My goal was to break the scene down to just big shapes 
and exaggerate the color. 
I kind of over worked it in the end,
 but it sure was fun using all that viridian, sap, and lemon yellow!  
Again, loosely inspired by this cover on one of 



Ironically, when I got home from the studio, 
I found an email from my blogger friend Nancy Hartley
suggesting I look up  Curtis Fields, 
 a California artist known for his "stylized realism" paintings.   

Cattle Under Oak Tree
1980 36 x 36 
by Curtis Fields 
(1921- 1980)

For this, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the World Wide Web. 
Thank you fellow artists, for sharing.
