Clear Day Study

Clear Day Study, 8 x 6, oil on panel, L. Daniel © 2013
SOLD

This painting of a local park in Austin was the study for a larger piece I recently finished (will post at a later date). Doing a study helps me to understand color and value relationships, and to work out composition issues. Plus, working with the subject in a small format helps me remember to keep everything simple... which is so important!

    So lovely. I love the bright green-always a tricky a color that sunny grass.
