Hillside Color


Hillside Color

This painting is an experiment with a new palette and a differing approach. Usually I try to plan my paintings out pretty well. This one I let lead the way. A bit frustrating to shift like this, but I just wanted to try something different. An approach which drifts a little towards the abstract
letting the painting give direction. The lovely color of the hillside was right out my window but I moved with the color and design I found in nature to come up with this final composition.
