Description
Oil painting, framed
It's not often that I find a nice secluded spot with a lovely view of rural PA. Frequently, I'll be perched along with my easel by the side of the road feeling a bit unsafe, cars and trucks whizzing by. However, the day I painted Country Road I came across an area that had friendly neighbors and virtually no traffic: it was next to a quiet cemetery! It allowed me to capture the beautiful view of the distant hillsides with a pretty barn and shed in the mid distance.
I liked the spot for the atypical vantage point with the foreground trees casting shadows upon the road which leads to the main subject. The figure was an afterthought - an addition I made in the studio later that day, although, as luck might have it, the farmer whose property I was painting did come over to talk to me for a bit. Nothing beats plein air painting, especially when all the conditions are perfect as was the case that day!
