This is another painting that I began last August and it is another that I purposely waited to resume until this August.
It is under-painted with oil and cold wax because in subsequent applications I wanted to manipulate and draw into it. In order to build dimension with impasto I also enjoyed working into the waxed surface with a large painting knife.

I’ve made a conscious effort to assess and resume work that I’ve put away for long periods, sometimes because at the time I was ‘hitting a wall’ and feeling lost, or others, like the one above, simply because now the time is right.
This is really really gorgeous.. I especially like the setting sun through the grasses....

ReplyDeleteBeautifully done! It's almost like the last hurrah of the sun in autumn and the plants have bloomed out and are going to seed.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Rhonda-and yes, sad to say it kind of feels like autumn is on it's way in--not that i don't like autumn, but....
