Back to nature, well Iris is part of nature, so back to the woods is more correct. I have done some Tree/forest paintings lately. This one is the first I did. Tried to keep it clean, semi-abstract and with loose brush strokes.
I love that background showing through some of the tree trunks. Out of curiosity I stepped back from my monitor and looked at this from a distance - magic! Up close it's dynamic and full of energy, at a distance soft and serene. Wonderful painting Roger.
I know this is kind of crazy, but I know I got a graphic kind of style and when I paint I must like the painting at close range and far away, if I don't like a painting at both distances, then I will never love the painting. A few of the paintings that I destroyed was such painting. Among them was my first "That time of year" painting, where I really let loose for the first time, when painting trees/landscape, but I didn't like it up close, so it is history.
I love the view point of this one...looking upwards, as always just great!
SvaraRaderaThank you Jane.
SvaraRaderaIf I am going to ever be a great landscape painter, I need to do a lot of practice and exploration.
I like the deep reds with the bright yellow green. Very refreshing. Your pioneering style continues!!
SvaraRaderaKeep your paints wet,
Nora

RaderaThank you all for your nice comment.
SvaraRaderaToo explore is both a curse and a fantastic journey.
