Part of this painting was done in a class and I finished it in my studio. I used a limited palette of Black and White with touches of Red in the mixture.  The painting was fun and hard to do. It measures 16"x12 and with the frame it measures 15"x19". This is what you call a value painting and a limited palette.

"Whispering Tree, Golden Field" is a captivating 9x12 oil painting on a canvas panel that invites viewers into a serene landscape. The centerpiece of this artwork is a majestic, leafy tree, its rich green and brown hues creating a striking contrast against the golden-yellow field it resides in. The substantial shadow cast by the tree adds depth and realism, while the field’s sunlit, dry grass suggests the warmth of a perfect day.
In the distance, gentle hills blend seamlessly into a serene blue sky, punctuated by scattered white clouds. The expressive brushwork captures the natural essence and interplay of light, enhancing the landscape's tranquil atmosphere. This piece beautifully encapsulates a moment of quietude and natural beauty, making it a timeless addition to any collection.

I painted this painting from under a bridge in Colorado.  I could hear the water rushing and see all the splashing. It was wonderful. I         loved see the Aspin trees so bright and yellows.  The painting hangs in our home.  It measures 9"x12" and is framed and signed.  I have the greatest memories of painting out there with the  OPS group.
