Spring Hillside



6 inch by 9 inch oil on canvas sheet

This is a small detail that I copied from Kevin MacPerson's painting Laguna Hillside.  I haven't tried painting wildflowers before, and I wanted to try to get patches of color rather than individual flowers.  I found that I was getting mud when I was painting wet into wet last night, so I let it sit to dry overnight.  Today I re-established the bright yellows.  I had fun with this one.  The mood in this painting is much brighter than the previous one.

Have a good weekend!

    I think this may be my favorite yet of these from you. Love the softness of the background patches of color. More detail and brighter color closer up reads just right as wildflowers! You did a beautiful job!

    Super, Virginia. I see you employed "where's the red" again, and it worked great. A very very nice painting.
