crossroads

6x9 pastel and watercolor on Uart

I guess this is as literal as it is symbolic. It is a plein air painting of the crossroads near Lake Needwood. As I drove (yes drove!) home after painting I pondered. Why did I drive all the way to Lake Needwood, yet not paint it? Instead what excited me was the light stretching across a crossroads. I couldn't help but think it was more symbolic. I will think about it and make my thoughts more concise for tomorrow's post.

Once again a wonderful painting-you may consider these to be studies but to me they are 'complete" just as they are. I have noticed that your cool colors have a warmth to them.I like those gestural marks indicating the trees. The light on the path & the path going back into space -nicely done. One wonders what lies beyond the bend in the road.
