Green and Blue Study, 6 x 6 oil on gesso board
A plein air study done at a nature park near my home. I intentionally broke some rules about de-emphasizing chroma of the background elements in a painting. I like the temperature contrasts between the (relatively) warmer greens and the cool blue-violets, and I just can't make myself "grey" the blues. I appreciate the skills of the photo-realists, but I wanted to bounce those temperature variations against each other. This little study is feeding ideas about a possible larger painting or series.
