Late Summer Fields - SOLD
6" x 6" oil on panel
Late summer always brings rich colour that heralds change. The colour zigzags across the landscape, pulling the eye with it and leading into the next, reminding me of those lines in old pinball games leading down and up to guide the ball.
This is a small painting done with leftover paint on my palette after a larger painting was complete.
"In the garden, Autumn is, indeed the crowning glory of the year, bringing us the fruition of months of thought and care and toil.
And at no season, safe perhaps in Daffodil time, do we get such superb color effects as from August to November."
- Rose G. Kingsley, The Autumn Garden, 1905

Lovely work! The palette knive marks in the sky remind me of a flock of birds on the wing! Energetic marks all around make this one a very autumnal and crisp painting.
end of summer is just really grey here :/
the textures from the knife work really well with the clouds and help give a lot of movement to the fields :)
Thanks Rhonda. They do look like that now you mention it! The movement and texture that palette knives give are always interesting.
It can be like that here too Jen, depending on how the weather cooperates. 25C here today and 99% humidity. It was like a sauna!
I'll have to play around with a larger landscape using the knives, I haven't done many of them as they're not my comfort zone.
Nice post and thanks for share a good piece of content with us.
