"On The Ridge"
12"x16" Oil on Canvas covered panel
This area is just north of where I live, about a 10 minute drive maybe. Summer grasses are always great looking around here. The grasses and their warm color tones give the trees and background mountains a great looking color contrast. This is one of those paintings that took two days due to all of the distractions going on...I hate that because it is really hard to get back to work on the painting and sometimes you can begin to loose interest if you had stopped at a point where you were not happy. This painting started out as a summer painting but after a break and coming back I changed to to a winter scene, green grasses, but then came back from another break and went with summer again. I hate wiping paint off. Glad it ended up as it did and calling it finished.
Some of the work on the bushes here in this detail shot of the painting...

They just get better and your helpful detail pictures enhance our understanding of your skill and technique.
Hi Mick,
I wish every painter would post large details of their work. Good close up shots can teach painters so much. It's why half the painters visit galleries to see the actual paintings up close....to learn as well as appreciate the work of other painters. Thanks Mick.
