"Autumn Marsh"

Oil on gessoed hardboard panel

In this scene of the marsh in autumn, I was intrigued by the subtle reds, yellows, and browns of the marsh grass set against the blue of the sky and water. The open hammocks of tall pine trees and the solitary palms frame the view across the marsh

This panel was done with a pallet limited to primary colors and white in an effort to keep the colors clear and brilliant.

I worked on this panel intermittently over several days, so it's honesty not a "painting-in-a-day."
