At this point, my favorite subject matter to paint is the field. I painted this scene from a photo I took in Bloomsdale, Missouri. When I first reviewed the photo I was surprised at how saturated the green grass was. As I painted, I often thought my greens were too bright. Then I'd look back at the photo and see that the greens were even brighter. I'm sure the thin overcast atmosphere helped reveal these saturated greens found in the grass. If the sun was shinning directly on the field, then most of the greens would probably be washed out white.
