Field on Toolbeck Road

6 x 8 inches, oil on canvas panel                                                           Copyright 2010, John A. Brecht, all rights reserved 

This is a recent painting from April, 2010.  It is small, 6 inches by 8 inches.  It is about the smallest size I am comfortable painting on.  I originally planned to knock out some quick studies using the smaller panels.  Oddly, I spent about the same amount of time on this smaller panel as I did on the size I typically work in.  However, what it did was to effectively increase the size of my brushes, forcing me to simplify.  I am beginning to use a palette knife more frequently, which is a lot of fun.

I'm anxious to see the landscapes in person. Tell Ann to get ready for a visit..
Love the simplification, color, light and shadow.....julie
