My wife was taking a walk in the Funderburg Conservation Area on a beautiful summer afternoon. She took this picture for me to paint and I loved the wispy clouds and the shimmering grasses on either side of the path.
We were driving to a farm stand last weekend and my wife took the picture from which I painted this. She knew I'd like the pole on the right, the depth and sunlight/shadows on the buildings. And, of course, that dappled sunlight!
I was headed out to the mailbox and passed these daisies in our garden on the way, stopped and snapped a picture. Painting it was a fun challenge trying to simplify all the colors and shapes into something pleasing and believable.
