Field in Vauclus

9 x 12 inches, oil paint on wood panel                                                   Copyright 2009, John A. Brecht, all rights reserved

Painted on the Yonce farm at Vaucluse, SC.  This painting was executed quickly primarily because it was a sky study and skies move. There is never a sky painted from life that is not a fabrication of the painters memory or imagination.

I LOVE THE SKY, AND THE GROUND, WITH ALL ITS SWIRLS! I HAVE A SPECIAL CONNECTION WITH THE GREENS THAT YOU OFTEN USE..........THOSE OLIVE GREEN SHADES.
MY MOTHER, WHO HAD THE SPIRIT OF AN ARTIST, AND, WHO WAS, IN FACT, A BRILLIANT PIANO PLAYER WHO PLAYED BY EAR, LOVED THESE SHADES OF GREEN. THERE WERE MANY SPECIAL ITEMS IN OUR HOUSE WITH THE OLIVE GREEN SHADES IN THEM.
BY NATURE, OR, GENETICS, I HAVE ALWAYS FELT VERY STRONG CONNECTIONS WITH THESE COLORS TOO, AND, NOT JUST BECAUSE MY MOTHER LIKED THEM.
