Field of Wildflowers

Field of Wildflowers     5"x 7"  pastel  SOLD

I spotted this amazing field of wildflowers while out and about one day.  Even on that over-cast day, the intensity of the color and the size of it made it appear to glow.  I stopped and took a bunch of photos since I was short on time, took them home and painted this later in the day.  I also took some time to look them up the flower on the computer to see what it was.  It's wild mustard.  Now, I have seen this stuff growing around here before, but not in such a large area.  It really was spectacular.

Fall Colors

 This pastel painting was done in Mendon Ponds Park on an unusually warm day in late October.  The sunshine through the atmosphere made the distant hills a beautiful blue color and gave a warm cast to everything.  It softened the edges on the hazy shadows that crossed the path where I stood.  I occasionally had horse-back riders pass by me, as this is one of several riding trails through the park.  

unframed size - 6"x9"
