Tone Poem IV

"Tone Poem IV" 8" x 10" Oil on canvas panel

Queen Anne's Lace dots a band across the front of this August landscape.  They're plentiful along the roadways where this was shot taken early one morning.  


Number four in the series is of larger trees and not so many different fields. I used a sponge and one scruffy brush  to paint all of the Tonalist pieces. Not my usual fare.

I appreciate your attention here.

Queen Anne's Lace

"Queen Anne's Lace"

Wisconsin fields sway with color and texture, hazy-late in the summer. The "Queen Anne's Lace"  petticoats along her sinewy roads and lanes flutter in the heat and wave in that proper queenly fashion.

Oh, boy was this fun. I put actual lace on a canvas then smeared joint compound over it. Pulled up the lace and painted over the texture.  When you go to my gallery on Dailypaintworks.com and run your cursor over the art, you can see the texture under the paint.  I've done this on many pieces, but they all sold before I could photograph them. 

Thank you for visiting today.  It's always fun to know you're there, reading and looking at what I've been doing.
