Olive Field in France

[Grapes]

I started checking files to find a landscape to post - a landscape that I've painted in the past yrs. I had hard time finding one. They are all pleinairs. Well, that needs to change. I used to paint lot of studio landscapes but then pleinair came to the picture and somehow I never painted studio landscapes anymore.

This piece is also started as pleinair in Provence, France but I couldn't finish it there because we were just passing by. Besides I was painting with my cat. To me it's now a little bit like a fairytale/not real looking landscape but I like the colors as I hardly ever would use these colors to a landscape.
It's an oil painting on wood, 25x35 cm.

Thanks for looking

Very pleasing and cat approved! The sky is especially well done.

This is very nice, Grapes, and I like the colors, even if you changed them to create a different mood. Just getting a start in the field is so much better than relying on a photo alone. You made some kind of connection and I think that always comes through. Maybe your cat will allow a few quick sketch sessions so you can do this again.

She certainly will but that most probably will be some other olive field in France.

Joy & Donna, thank you!

If your foreground fruit tress had a regression in depth color this would be one of the best I have seen from you. Opinion only of course.
