Rolling Hills, 8 x 6, SOLDThe Texas Hill Country has many ranch roads that are very inviting. However, conventional wisdom is that a cattle guard in the road is the same as a gate; and crossing over it is equal to tresspassing. It is private property after all. These rolling hills were just beyond one of those cattle guards. I resisted the urge to go any further... though it was tempting!

Hi Laurel,
ReplyDeleteI love the colour in this one. And there's something completely unique about the way you paint trees, so that I can feel the light coming through that tree, and the movement,
even though it's a painting, and abstracted. I love, love, love your work.
XOXOXOBarbara
Laurel this made me laugh because I was just recently sneaking onto someone's cornfield to paint and was feeling a little sheepish about it.
ReplyDeleteBut here, you didn't need to go farther!
I really admire someone that handles oil
ReplyDeletethe way you do. Wonderful brush strokes,
beautiful color and simplicity.
I enjoy your blog!
I love the warmth of this piece. There is something ethereal about it. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI always love your trees. You get right to the essential elements.
ReplyDeleteOn a painting trip to Fredericksburg we meet up with a county commissioner that told us if the road sign is green it is a city owned road and you can drive down it. If the sign is red that means it is a private road. Following this rule we did drive some green roads that crossed over cattle guards. Now you have me wondering if we were trespassing. :?)
