STRIPPING NATURE



This is a painting I did recently in a workshop with Jon Imber hosted by the Concord Art Association in Concord, MA.  The work is oil on canvas, 12 x 12, painted while on location at the Minuteman Park in Concord.  My goal was to create a mood and strip the landscape down to the essentials.  We painted only a few weeks back when the temperatures were perfect, the leaves just starting to turn their colors and the park quiet on a weekday morning.  This park is the perfect place for plein air as the landscaping is varied, the vistas inviting, and the essentials of parking and a bathroom are available.  The park rangers and grounds crew welcome our types.  I will definately go back soon to paint.
