As a plein air artist, I find myself in unbearable conditions such as this one! So hot that my oil paints almost ran off my palette. I look back at these paintings and recall every detail of that painting session! Grass, bugs, heat, quizzical looks from passerbys, trying to balance the darks of the shadows in the tree against the cast shadows in the grass....in theory, the vertical shadows should be a darker value than the horizontal shadows....hmmm.
Small landscape, oil on board, 6"x8". Hope you enjoy this as much as I did painting it...and yes, I love the process, heat, bugs, etc
