Marshland Study, L. Daniel, 6 x 6, SOLD I did this small study in preparation for the larger diptych that I posted yesterday. It gave me a chance to prethink some of the color relationships and play with the grasses. I am always trying to figure out how to make grasses look authentic without getting too fussy.

I love this wee study, it is so fresh and spontaneous. You have captured the atmosphere of the marshlands perfectly with colour and brush work.
ReplyDeleteLaurel, as someone who sees a lot of marshland, I think you did a bang up job depicting the grasses - yes, always hard to do... but my favorite part of this painting is the wee little strip of violet in the far right distance.... perfect!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kelley-I live in the marshlands and you definitely have a feeling for them-lovely paintings.
ReplyDeleteThe diptych is fabulous but I just love these soft studies. There is a fresh natural quality about them that is so special and hard to duplicate.
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful... I love the colors and the light touch.
