Morning Harvest

Morning Harvest, 24 x 36

This is an enlargement of my last post - a scene from one of our local organic farms. One thing I loved about this scene was the haze in the distance fields juxtaposed to the lit foreground. I tried to push that relationship a little bit in this larger version.

Side-note: A sweet surprise came my way yesterday - I was the featured artist on Eric Cator's "PaintBlog" site! Please go there and take a look. Eric presents a different artist each day and his blog is a great place to see a variety of wonderful work. Thank you, Eric!!!

Laurel, you've captured it well. I really like the perspective and the totally different color than your previous post. Love you paintings.
Congratulations to the featured artist.

These last two are rather different and interesting! Do I see a subtle shift in your technique? I also really love the misty paintings, every one of them.

I hear you are visiting Kathy...when are you coming to NY?

Just kidding! I know you'll come eventually and now would not be a good time for us, we are all swept up in Cub Scouts and BBall and soccer and PT...so busy. Have fun!

Love you,
Erin :)

Thank you for the kind words Laurel!
It was my good fortune to discover your work, no thanks necessary.

I love this enlargement, and the adjustments you've made. I love how you pushed the hazy aspect and the colors

Hi Laurel,

I opened your blog and gasped at the beauty of this one. Wonderful. It still looks pretty summery there.

XOXOXOXOBarbara
