Field North of Maurice| 5"x7" | oil on hardboard
Here is a painting of a freshly cut field just North of town. The sky gives the impression that rain is looming and the combination of the two is a bad thing. It reminds me ever so slightly of one of my favorite Van Gogh paintings.
Wheat Field with Crows | Vincent Van Gogh
Wheat Field with Crows is one of Van Gogh’s most famous paintings and probably the one most subject to speculation. It was executed in July 1890, in the last weeks of Van Gogh’s life. Many have claimed it was his last work, seeing the dramatic, cloudy sky filled with crows and the cut-off path as obvious clues to his impending fate.
I saw this piece at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam over 25 years ago and still remember being struck by the dark beauty of it.

Very nice landscapes! I love the painterly feel to them!
ReplyDeleteyour painting --with its brushwork on the top-- seems so clear and strong, they makes this work very confident. I like also how the fields have much less detail than the forground..makes the image really convincing...
