October Corn

9" x 12" Oil on Canvas Board

This painting was just completed on October 5, 2009. I had a lot of fun with this one. It is an impasto alla prima using a knife. As such, there is little option but to just "throw" some paint on the canvas in a loose fashion. The interesting thing was watching it evolve into what I was looking for in terms of color and contrast. There was a definate sense of molding the image as if working in clay. In terms of design and layout, I am not sure that there was much to key on. I was only going for a fall feel with little regard for other concerns.
