Vista from the Farm Museum. I began to paint this en plein aire, meaning outdoors on location. It was a lovely day and a very inspiring place to paint from. The morning was a little hazy and I tried to capture that in the distance. It turned out to be a hot day but fortunately, I was in the shade of a tree. I painted an underpainting with a scrumbling technique. Then worked out the values and hues.
The composition is one you don't see often since most people want to have a road or something leading into the picture which is the common philosophy, and maybe I was wrong to go against the grain but I feel the project turned out beautifully.
It is a cool picture with a lot of greens and blues. It is done with a lot of dots and dabs, another thing that is not in vogue these days but I think it was very effective in creating a harmony in the picture. I finished the painting in my home studio the following week from some photos I took while there.
The size is 11x14. it is oil on canvas and would be a welcoming peaceful scene on any wall in your home.
