“In the Shadow of Greatness”
7 7/8″ x 10 3/4″
Pastel on sanded paper
I’ve had the chance today to wrap up not one but TWO paintings in progress. It feels good to finally get them “to bed” – I sometimes have paintings sitting around for 6-8 months unfinished, and I wait for the inspiration I need to put on the finishing touches. This painting started out being about the sunlight on the field, then I realized half-way through that what I liked was the little tree standing in the shadow of the big one. So, my focus changed, and the composition fell into place for me.
I gave you an award today! It’s posted on my blog. Stop over and visit.
Hey Julie,
I thought I’d check out if you posted anything recently. This one is really great! I can really relate to the little tree, especially when I am in a workshop with you and Alain.
Your color totally inspires me, I can’t wait to see what you come up with in class.
Fondly
