Ranch paintings

[Bartc]

A couple of good ones yesterday at a friend's ranch overlooking the Pacific. I've painted lots of views there, so decided to narrow the field of view to a couple of interesting features: a blue flowering bush climbing over a small farm shed, a stand of very large old trees.

Nice work, Bart! You featured both of those closer-up views very well.

Both are great - but I'm really lovin' the blues in that bush - just beautiful!

Thanks Ann & Donna, it was the blue flowers in that bush that attracted me.

Nice work. The blue bush is eye catching, but I think the tree stand is marvelous!

You know I love the pastel and the blue! The trees are very well done. Bark and all. Good day for you!

Hi Bart, the blue flowers leap out, nice.
The tree study is cool, but the blue & green really pop against that background.
