- In this luminous Landscape
Painting, "Hay Bales with Golden Light" an original
oil on panel, I was once again experimenting with the color yellow
as a dominanant pallette color, i.e. a mother color blended in
to everything in the painting as to elevate the near monochromic
effect but yet having a few other colors showing in the shadows
and darker places in the image to serve as complimentary accents
to the basic color yellow. Also by using some of the sky color
to mix in to all places in the image I try to push the atmospheric
effects such as how much haze and luminosity. After teaching
painting for a while I thought I would revisit the fundamentals
and simply make about three lines on the panel and just go from
there to see what might I develop out of the simplest of arrangements
as to force myself to bring interest where there is very little
in terms of objects to hide behind as an artist who doesn't generally
know where or when to cease and desist in paint or verbiage,,
and I love Hay Bales.
