spring is at its height. That time when the brightness of
emerging leaves is keyed up even more with the bright
morning sun. I pulled off to the side of a quiet country road
on Friday and quickly painted this piece. The pasture is
actually being used by a large flock of sheep, the wet area
by pairs of Canada geese and small bunches of
Green-winged Teal and a few Mallards none of whom,
mysteriously, made it into this painting =;-))
Overhead swallows soared in the warm air hunting insects
and a young eagle made low swoops over the pond
hoping for slow moving waterfowl but having no
success as the geese put up a chorus as it approached.
The heady scent of spring cottonwood filled the
air with its soul stirring scent.
Oil on wood panel 6 x 8.
Comments always appreciated!

Hi again Jeffery!... Sometimes the act of painting is secondary to just the joy one feels from being ... "out there"!The painting is just a bonus!
"He leadeth me beside still waters... it restoreth my soul..."
Seems to have happened to "You" here Jeffery!
Good painting!
Warm regards,

Dazzling work, Jeffrey! I see that the light and blooming is all over your region now and you've responded with luscious painting and perspective. I love this painting and the one at the top of your blog. There is a different approach in these. I like. Very much.
Another wow.
Dazzling color - what wonderful light! Love this time of year.
It absolutely glows!
Thanks Bruce.
