Choose Your Path Contemporary Impressions Oil Painting

"Choose Your Path"

6x6" oil on panel

Landscape scenes can be overwhelming.  So many details!  My goal, almost always, is to simplify and focus what attracted me to paint it in the first place.  The big shapes were fun.

"Summer Country"

6x6 oil on masonite panel

I am pleased with this little one.  Mostly because it is one of my favorite subjects, my familiar...rural landscapes in the summer.  I am like the warm colors against the cool sky and road.  The simplified yet still interesting quadrants of this square layout.  Sometimes they just come together with joy and you have to savor those moments because the process of a painting is not always as joyous, more times than not they can be a struggle and learning experience!  This was on our way to the lake for a camping weekend last summer.
