A larger painting today. I set out to convey a feeling of the full richness of spring, trying hard to keep the colors and values as fresh and intense as possible.

You succeeded! I looked at this painting and asked myself, "How does he do that?" I really need to set aside my sculpting and get back to painting more. You've inspired me to do that.

Hi Don--I don't know how you feel about awards, but I've passed one or two if you'd like, along to you--check out my site for details.

Don,
Love the richness of color in this piece. A winner!

Don Gray said...

Hi Susan--thanks so much, I appreciate it.

Don Gray said...

Much appreciated, Jean!

Excellent color choices, Don!

Such a nice variety of greens. Nice touch having the greens in the foreground most intense while the ones in the background are more dulled down.

The red barn/building just pops here for obvious reasons (see above paragraph).

I want to live there!

Fantastic job!

Thanks, Dean. I admit, the painting has a bit of a fantasy quality, compared to the actual place. But that's what it's about, right?--interpretation.
