Summer Sunshine: 3
June 9, 2010
Shadows.
One of the goals on my list for this summer is to capture a typical Portland scene in paint. Pale grey sky, muted colors, sunlight filtered through the layer of clouds.
But the problem with that scene is that there are no strong shadows. And strong shadows make the best paintings. That’s what this painting was about– the long shadow of the tree on the left.
By the way, this painting was painted from the same spot as Monday’s painting, just looking in the opposite direction.
6×6 Oil on Masonite Block. Ready to hang, no framing required! $75.
