Spring Vista

"A Vista in Spring", oil on panel, 12x12, 5/2010

This past Tuesday, I went to Judie's house with some friends to paint the view from her land on a high hill overlooking the Grand River valley. I had decided on a backlit view and even though the trees were just about finished with the spring blossoms, they still had the variety of hues to make the painting interesting with all the bright greens. This was a beautiful day with warm sunshine and good friends.
