About Wheatgrass Way III
‘Wheatgrass Way III’ – In this landscape, my experimentation with a neutral-color palette continues. This is one of two landscapes that explores where achromatic colors will take me. The verdict is still out. Maybe I’m just drawn to saturated colors.
Different Views – Same Subject
I am intrigued by this composition and finding new ways of constructing this landscape’s view. This painting is one example of several that I’ve done previously. Employing impressionistic compositions allows me to explore subjects and environments through the use of simple line-work, bright colors and energetic brush strokes..
