Simple Landscape in Acrylic

Sunlit Field. 12" x 10" Acrylic.

Somewhere in America

Here's an acrylic painting of somewhere in America. This painting started off as an exercise in mixing very pale neutral colours such as those in the background of this painting. It's surprising how neutral a colour is in nature or a photograph. The yellows, greens and oranges in the background of the photo are very neutral, virtually grey. In the painting the colours are a bit too saturated and overall you lose the hazy distant feel to the painting. Anyway, I still like it and I gave the painting to my Mum for her 75th birthday! :-)
