There's something very appealing about this painting. I think it's the way you captured the early light and stillness of the farm at daybreak. I suppose it could be sunset, but it seems like a morning mood to me.
Well, Carol...I'm not really a morning person, so must admit this is late afternoon. But you're right, it does somehow seem more like early light. Glad you like it, anyway. I've enjoyed seeing your vibrant paintings.
Welcome to my daily painting blog.Here's the deal: most everyday I trek out into the wilds of the woods, or maybe the wilds of my studio to complete a new small painting, usually oil on gessoed hardboard, 5 x 7 or 6 x 6 inches in size. Then I take a picture of it, close my eyes, cross my fingers and push the button that posts it on this blog, floating out into the virtual world.

About Me
Don Gray
I must like extremes. Having painted many murals that cover the sides of large buildings, now I find myself doing daily paintings that fit in the palm of a hand. Truth is, large or small, I don't care. With a brush in my hand and something to paint on, I'm happy.
I've drawn and painted nearly all my life. Earliest inspirations came from the landscape of my childhood in rural Oregon. I lived many years in the Pacific Northwest, later spent five years in Arizona and seven in California. Recently my wife Brenda and I have returned to the Oregon valley where we used to live.
I've always felt nurtured and sustained by my relationship with the land and the light of the West.
My paintings have been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the
United States. I've also taught, painted numerous indoor and outdoor
murals and illustrated over twenty books.

Feels like morning to me as well. Nice piece!

Let's go ahead and just call it morning then :) Thanks for stopping by, Chris.
