Wrapping up in the studio the latest commission, based on an often-painted location just down the road. Similar in composition to another piece of the same scene, I pushed the focal point of this piece to the op, allowing the lower half to the shadows cast by the treeline on the west side of the meadow, so much so they sort of compete for “subject” status. “Western Ridge” 48 x 48.
