Here are a couple of pieces from around my farm. Painting inside the forest is a pretty good challenge. The light can move quickly and change the pattern of light and dark dramatically during a painting session. I like trying to capture this fleeting quality.
The interior is my dad's tool bench, in a shed at the farm. We haven't gotten around to cleaning it up, I sort of like leaving it that way, just how he left it. There are some leaves growing inside that came through a gap between the wall and the window. It seems as if the entire space is covered in a film of grease. Anyone who has seen my studio can see where I got my sense of organization from.
I love the hints of saturation around the window. very inspiring
ReplyDeleteLovely range of tones in these. I particularly like the way you have managed to create interest in the narrow value range under the bench of the second one.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mick.
ReplyDeleteI don't usually explore such dark harmonies, and I wanted them all to not jump out from the shadows too much. I'm glad you like the paintings,
Kyle
Hi Aaron,
ReplyDeleteThanks a bunch. I was going to just scrape this one.
