Harvest Time

 

Harvest Time, 2023, Oil on Canvas, 20"x24"

I live in Southeastern Massachusetts where beaches abound and the Cranberry is king.  It's impossible to leave my house without passing a bog.  This bog, I believe is a Makepeace bog.  The Makepeace farms is the largest grower in North America.  They also are a great community partner.  The video is posted to demonstrate the iterations of color changes that occurred throughout the painting process.  I had in mind to have large blocks of flat color.  That, however, is not my style and proved impossible for me.  Also, I was painting on canvas as opposed to my regular panel surface which grabs the paint in a different way.  This painting is off to the Marion Art Center Member show from January 13-February 23.
