Southern Landscape in Progress

Southern Landscape in Progress

Middleton Gardens - Spanish Moss


I am having a very hard time letting this beauty go - Maybe I just want to live with it a little longer.  

Landscapes in the American South are not the usual sweeping vistas.  

I will always be infatuated  with these magnificent oaks - the dripping Spanish moss and the elusive light that draws you back deeper and deeper - quite the ongoing love affair.  

This tableau is 20" x 24", oil on stretched canvas (I stretched this one myself).  I wish I could say I will be excited to complete this one, but there will be a great deal of separation anxiety when it leaves my studio.

I know I will do this one again, I have painted it larger and smaller - there is always an opportunity to see different colors - experiment, and most importantly experience joy while creating!
