Spring Flood (12 x 16 watercolor) $200.00
Driving the countryside around Salem, I’ve been admiring the flooded fields. At first I was only looking as I drove places I needed to go. Then I began taking the back roads just to more of them. Finally, I began driving just to see them.
This particular field is northwest of us out toward Silverton. I loved the silvery blue reflection of the sky 0n the water and the way the furrows pointed to the horizon. I took several high horizon photos to emphasize the retreating furrows, but in my reference photos the sky was flat pale gray and uninteresting so I added the cloud where furrows meet in the distance. I also removed a a railroad trestle that ran across the back of the field because it created a solid black line just where I wanted everything to fade.
Painted with cobalt blue, cerulean blue, burnt sienna and new gamge.
