Farm Road (11 x 14 Oil on canvas panel)
This is my Belfast paintng for Bill Guffey's Virtual Paintout site.
I enjoyed hiking around Larne, Northern Ireland. Everything is so lush and green. I almost missed this image at 109 Deerpark Rd. It must have been late in the day because the image was very dark [Ref: Photo]. After bringing up the brightness on the monitor I discovered a potential plein air painting site, There is good composition with a nice light/Dark pattern. The old farm machinery in the foreground adds interest .
I am just mesmerized by the trees, for some reason. That just look so ancient and beautiful! Lovely piece!
ReplyDeleteAL,
ReplyDeleteThank you for dropping in, and leaving a nice comment. You must be a Night person 3:29 AM?

Nah, Phil. I am actually a morning person and one who can rarely stay awake past 9 p.m. I just can't seem to stay asleep, waking anywhere from 2 a.m. to 6:30 a.m., that last on a good day.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. It is much more beautiful than the photo from which it was painted. I love that you post the original with the painting. How do you get the split image of the google map?
ReplyDeleteNancy,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words. I work from a "Full screen" with the Google Map images. When you return from the "Full screen" Google splits the screen as you saw it in my [Ref: Photo] link.

Thanks for the info, Phil.
ReplyDeleteNice painting Phil. You do here what I think is the best part about painting - defining things(the trees for example)by painting what is not the tree. Very lush surface. You mentioned on my blog the possibility of painting Peggy's Point boats in Nova Scotia. I had to go check it out (I went directly to the lighthouse on my search - not imagining that the street on the way in was a lot more interesting - like the pink fishing boat!) I hope that you find the time to do some of that - I would really love to see what you do with it. Gary
