Going Up The Country - named after my favorite Canned Heat tune :)
My only thought when I started this painting was a mountain in the upper right hand quadrant.
This painting gives me a nice feeling in my heart. I think the composition turned out OK and the individual elements of the painting are acceptable to me :) I had the most fun painting the cabin. I seem to gravitate more to cabins like this (95% brush painted) versus palette knife cabins, just my personal preference. If I had a do-over I would make the stream a bit curvier instead of a straight run. I tried to give the overall grass the appearance of being longer than a lawn. My tree branches look decent on the mighty oak tree.
As usual photo does not do the painting justice. 12" x 24" canvas. As always, your comments (especially suggestions) are desired and welcome.
Thanks Dillon :)
Wonderful and your cabin/house is perfect!
Thanks Jos - that means a lot. I worked on that cabin LOL
I have to agree with Jos, the cabin/house is perfection! The shingles on the roof are awesomely done! So does painting a structure like that take as long as building one? 😂
So pretty as an overall composition! Nice colors, love the trees and that cabin.
To me, that mountain is the star of the show :D your cabin is perfect though.
Thanks Brian, Pam, Jeff ... appreciate you :)
It wonderful all around. Perfect cabin and a gorgeous mountain.
Thanks Tomi :)
Brian, as far as painting time, I'd say I spent maybe 6 hours of actual easel time. The cabin probably took 1.5 - 2 hours of actual painting time. I painted this over 3 days. Spent more time thinking about what to add versus actual brush time.
So colorful. Very beautiful scene.
Very nice and well executed Tony!
