Autumn warm-up


oil on canvas 12x16,
a little different this one,tried a bit off knive for the foreground leaves,
not sure,looks a bit to bitty to me.
might do a bit more to those cows?

Really nice! I think the knife work gives it more variety and contrast; it also gives the painting more depth, I think.

you are right Lesley,a few sharper edged will benefit my work...

I LIKE IT VERY VERY MUCH!!

About the cows, I don't know a tiny bit maybe but then again it's soo deep this one Rob.

My favor of yours for the moment!!

rob ijbema said...

well with the knive work and bigger seize you had to like it,hehe

the cows need a bit of warming up,
they look like marble statues at the moment...no details

Fantastic Rob. One of my favorites. Great palette and textures.

I think too that the sharper edges in the foreground foliage create depth. A very beautiful painting with loads of light in it.
BTW I just returned from a painting week and there will soon be some PA paintings on my blog.
