11 x 14 inches .. oil on paper .. alla prima .. painted Jan 13/24

The Clearing .. all about making a stroke with the knife and leaving it to go over it, maybe.

…making a stroke…. Dang, I should proof read.

Typo fixed.

This is just gorgeous - what a beautiful display of light! You just nailed the foliage color changes when struck by sunlight. The strip of blue sky along the top lends a perfect naturalness to it all. And those blues.....!

Excellent work!

Thank you Terri .. you are over generous with your comment but thanks.

Terri is right; this is gorgeous and excellent! I think I would have a very hard time leaving each stroke alone because I would want to adjust an edge or put another color on top and soon there would be mud.

Thanks Donna. With a knife i can go over with a light touch while with a brush I can’t.

This is really a nice one. Someone told me once that to say a painting is nice means you don't have anything to say. But to me nice is really good, meaning it has a nice/warm/welcoming feeling. Anyway, I like this a lot!

Thanks Jo.

Truly beautiful. I love the yellows, whites, light greens...or I should say the "light" in this.

Like the contrasts of warm and cool light.

Thank you Ayin ... light is good .

Thanks Bartc .. glad you had time for a thought and a good observation .. to me, that is what makes the light have force.

Agreed! Gives it depth and interest, which it would totally lack if not for that masterful rendition.
