Landscape, farm, rural, Wisconsin, yellow
I went out chasing a painting the other day. I loaded up my small painting gear, brought water, warm clothes and a desire to paint outside. It didn’t happen. Everywhere we travelled we were met by huge snow piles, ice, pot holes the size of manhole overs and nowhere to park ! Catching a painting on location is sometimes like fishing -lots of bites no catch.
Frustrating as it was, it was also fun and inspiring to soak in the sights along our route. At one point, the sky above us took on a yellow cast and a memory was set in place. Memory is often my best resource for a painting - the absolute essentials stick and the “small stuff” slips away.
I like the effect of an unusual light in the sky. In this case it seemed to foretell the rain and melting event that began much later that night.
This little study seems to be a harbinger of spring -coming in surprising ways this season. www.bonnieparuch.com on Daily Paintworks.
