Oil On Wood (As Usual Wine Boxes) Sky, Prairie, Mahogany

This oil on wood piece is another inspired by Everglades photos taken over a number of years. Originally there were no trees in this particular painting. I actually really liked it as that.

But then I fell prey to that terrible thing--doubt. "I wonder if other people are going to like it....what are they going to think? Is it boring?  It is a little odd because I rarely do this. SO I added trees and I immediately hated them. It took awhile for me to get to the point where I kind of liked them and forgave myself for adding them. They are, essentially two copses of mahogany trees that were in a different photograph.

Obviously I am not trying to depict actual things in any case but being inspired by something that exists is the basic M.O. I suppose here we are just combining two such things.

    Paintings from way back to now....I had a longer description from when I first started? But if you want to see me starting to paint again after a 20 year hiatus? Scroll back. I didnt post here for years but I will try to get back to doing so.
