| Prescott Family of Three 5x7 oil on paper $90 |
This is a small view from Prescott Arizona. I was just there a couple days after Thanksgiving. I was kind of disappointed because everything was so brown. This is my fault though, my senses are so out of whack from living in Southern California. I still found the beauty and had a wonderful visit with my boy.
For this painting I wanted to get away from the paint daubing I started doing on the first couple of paintings. I attempted the same thing with the second Basking in the s
Sun painting but the brush work still got out of hand. Since I'm doing a painting a day I'm painting them Alla Prima - or wet into wet. I'm also using oils so there is not much chance of correcting unless I want to scrape the paint off and start again. With larger works I leave the painting setup over night and them "fix" things the next day. Not so with these little guys. They are what they are.
I think I nailed what I was after in this painting. What do you think? Give me a score from 1-10, 10 being the best painting, 1 being the worst.
Thanks,
Larry

I think you nailed it ;) I knew the minute I opened the page that this was Prescott. Then I read, and COOL! Yes, everything is brown, but when the sun catches on the fields... pure gold! I do miss So. Cal. green though. And bougainvilla. Going back for a visit at the end of the month.
