Description

I had painted this nearly a year ago as environment practice, but left it unfinished as usual.

I was thinking about a friend's story-in-the-works today. What I've read of it so far from it has created some pretty intense synaesthesia: the taste of wet ground and leaves in the air, somewhat musty, fragrant with things alive and dead. It reminded me of this scene, so I went back to it for those few final touches.

The road and Grass have so much detail put into them it is simply stunning. However there are patches left like to the right of the painting by the fence its a big blotchy brown spot. The shadows and fog IS AMAZING!!! You use shading SO very well. I wish the trees has more detail, but it could be interpreted as a foggy lonely feel. I like how you left it natural and did not over-do the lonely feeling. Its a natural lonely feeling. The branches are also so very natural looking and I find many artist struggle with that area. All in all IT IS FABULOUS!!
