End of the summer...

End of summer, you sense autumn is in the air and moreover in the light. Big ships of clouds pass by. The corn is converted in gold. The trees show their evening gawn. This oil marks a big change for me. Used to paint realism in the studio. But being out there, seeing and experiencing the dynamics of nature it simply cried out for another approach. I wanted to create an impression of movement, the clouds, change of light, the wind, smell of rain... The sound of crickets and the rabbit running for safety in the open field...

I made this oil painting based on color/composition studies and photo's. The location is a cornfield near Raby Road close to Neston.
