New: “Magenta” 40 x 30

Sometimes, when planning a painting, the composition comes first, other times, palette. In this case, hopefully obviously, color was the inspiration. I had seen a meadow recently, up North in Vermont, that was covered in a soft pinkish/red grass, made a deeper shade of magenta with the low sun. The composition, in this case, fit the “subject” well, as the large expanse of foreground meadow was the perfect vehicle for color. “Magenta” 40 x 30
