Fence Line


About this time of year the landscape in Iowa becomes boring to me. Too much Green. Here is one I painted today taking the green out and playing with a rust reddish tone. (trying to provide a little more interest and mood to the scene.) Not sure Iwas successful but a good exercise. 16 x20 on uart paper.. watercolor underpainting.

    That is a great painting. Thanks for the idea. I'm here in the mountains with all green, green, everywhere. I may take a tip and try this. :)

    we used to roam a lot on weekends and both of us enjoyed it. Don't do it so much now. Not as much fun to roam alone.fence contractors dc
