Field, Late June


From a special time, summer 2008.....my time was my own and the season was still young. In late June the field was at its richest green, in a very quiet, isolated area....hard to get to. Acrylic on gessoed paper....the paint is handled quickly and each work is completed within an hour or two. There is a reason the work is small....it needs to seem easy, almost accidental and insignificant...and related to play. If things get over-controlled the work is dead before the paint is dry. The small scale encourages surprises.
