Creek at Dusk Challenge by Barbara Haviland Framed oil painting


Creek at Dusk Challenge

This oil painting was part of a challenge. We used a limited palette, which is always challenging.  I used big brush strokes and bright color. My painting looks like it is at night with the moon shining but not showing. The colors are still there but I feel there is mystery surrounding the scene. I hope you like it and will comment.

This painting is painted and has modeling paste to make the big cypress in the front raised from the canvas. It has grooves and raised textures along the trunk of the tree.  I must have painted that tree at least four times.   I framed this a a barnyard wood frame and the whole thing is very heavy.
