Spring Meadow on the Trail

 

I draw and paint this same spot on a trail I walk down near my house in every season. It's so full of life and abundance in just a tiny space. Good reminder of life's ability to regenerate itself over and over again. Biodiversity to the max!

Contact me about the original (currently unframed, oil pastel and acrylic on cradled panel). Prints, print on canvas, etc. are available on Fine Art America.

So is this a drawing or a painting? I thought I was drawing, but when the entire piece is covered in pastel it's called a painting. So I guess that's what this is. I really enjoyed doing it. It's been years since I just sat and drew. It came out of an assignment I gave myself to break out of a creative block. I was to walk around my uninspiring apartment complex and find something interesting to paint or make something interesting out of what I saw. This is drought tolerant California landscaping. Contact me if you're interested in the original: 12" x 12" on cradled panel mounted on 16" x 16" cradled panel painted black, ready to hang without framing. Prints and prints on canvas are available on Fine Art America.
