He Walked Through the Fields II

With the 30 in 30 challenge I seem to have forgotten to post current work done in my weekly painting workshop.  I have done 2 more panels for the -Through the Field - series see previous post.

 50 70 cm 

50 x 70 cm

These are 50 x 70 stretched canvas.   I am glad that I have someone  when to stop but some how I feel I can deepen the colors... I do however have the tendency of --overdoing--- and loosing the fresh quality.
These are done in a new concept for me... devising the canvas into smaller portions each representing a different view or scale of the whole reference....

I am trying to simplify shapes and colors and find knife work easier on larger canvases....

Please meet Bella!!! She is much prettier than my painting.... she adopted us jumping over the wall from my neighbors yard.   She gets along OK with Lily our new dog we adopted from a shelter and Gingy a yard cat that also adopted us... sometimes we even get a visit from my neighbor's Peacock but haven't been able to get a good reference photo of him.....

Oils on cloth covered corrugated cardboard 20 x 20 cm..using a palette knife. I had made these formats quite a while ago and will not make any more... they are very difficult for the knife work

 I am learning quite a bit with this challenge... what subjects,size, formats that are compatible with the tools I use mainly palette knife..

Found this reference the WDE All Media Events on Wetcanvas... thanks Christine... was fascinated by the sense of distance and the reflections..the yellow is a bit stronger in the original.... not satisfied with the clouds!
