Farm melt

Posted: March 13, 2015 | Author: | Filed under: Uncategorized |48 Comments

There isn’t much colour in the landscape today, but if you look carefully there’s a lot of beauty in the subtle hues of late winter. This was painted mostly with Raw Sienna and Indigo, with a bit of Alizarin Crimson and Burnt Sienna added in to warm things up. Size: 8″ x 12″.

    OMG Shari! This is one of your most gorgeous ones ever! I love it -))) Good job. Hey! How come that you have the time to paint when I have to do the mid-semester assessments on this dreary afternoon? Just teasing… )

    Wow. I think I’ll start using less color. This is so lovely.

    Very beautiful. It really creates a peaceful feeling. The vertical (trees) and horizontal (land forms and sky) elements lend a quietude and the implied diagonal of the water helps to draw the eye into the landscape. Beautiful and satisfying composition. So much to see and yet so direct. Brava!

    Beautiful in its simplicity. It is a strong composition that does it too.
    Can you post how long you take on these paintings just as reference?
    Great work!

    Just started following your blog a couple of months ago. Like Ron (above) I rarely comment but your watercolours are just gorgeous! I love the muted colours, masterful restraint in preserving the whites and use of darks. Just lovely :o)

    You absolutely nailed it. This looks like the cumulation of a long winters work. It paid off. You have achieved such beauty.

    Terrific!, great! I’d like to copy it if I weren’t afraid to the Royal Canadian Mounted police.
    Perdon for my joke. I really like your composition, its colors and how has been rendered.

    I shy away from landscapes – sticking to animals, people and monsters (it’s a kid thing).
    I adore your artful landscape approach – your works are representative, yet artful, painterly and loose. You make me want to try landscape because one can easily see the love with which you paint.
    Gorgeous…
