This is another painting of the gap made for the power lines as the pass from our top paddock through the neighbour’s pine plantation to the pastures beyond. Unlike the first this is in winter and the scene is barely lit by an overcast sky that casts no shadows as the lines disappear into the mist.
A small work using a detailed blockout and some minimal additional detailing of the nearest trees, bushes and the power poll whose cross piece I had to correct as it was pretty asymmetrical in my block out.
Painted in early June 2024 on 12″x9″ artist’s board in oil from a photo my dad took on one of his walks with the dog.
