Summer Morning Bloom

8"x10" Oil on Masonite Board

I've been by this field many times, but I couldn't quite find a painting in it. Finally, one morning I set out to take pictures and I noticed all these little white flowers blooming in the tall grass. I then decided the best composition was to have the flowers in the foreground. Also,the white morning haze really helped soften the background, thus giving the foreground a stronger presence.

This is a really creative idea to paint that picture. I love it so much. Do you still have that painting
