The rolling farm land around Barbara Yongue’s house inspired a second painting at last week’s paintout. I used a palette knife and muted colors to capture the bare trees and tall grasses of the late winter landscape. This piece was painted at the same location as the first piece but facing the opposite direction. It’s much lighter because the sun was higher in the sky and behind me.

I’m one lucky lady! I received one of your palmetto tree paintings in the MMSA green swap and I just love it. It’s a beautiful painting and I appreciate the skill in creating such a piece and then to send it through the mail…… it arrived beautifully intact and just gorgeous – it’s on my inspiration wall! Thanks so much.
Thanks, Terrie. I’m enjoying participating in MMSA. It’s a treat to get colorful handmade art in the mail, isn’t it?!
