6 x 6 Oil on canvas panel. "Upcountry" is the upcountry part of Maui where the temperatures are lower, the flowers and produce is grown and the cows graze. It is where I lived during one phase of my life.
Ah....... the phases.........
This painting was done a few months ago. It probably is my personal favorite (or within a few) of the 6 x 6's that I have done. I entered it into the Randy Higbee 6" squared show but it was rejected, with 2 others chosen instead. It's interesting to see which paintings make it into a show, which paintings win awards, which ones you gather the most comments on and which ones you personally favor. I am so drawn to works with strong lines. I love very abstract paintings of crops for example - rows of grape vines or miles of agricultural land sectioned off in wonderful shapes.
Thank you for visiting!
Strong painting Janet. I am always amazed at what gets in and what doesn't. I have gotten to where I ask friends to help me decide because I just don't know what to select. Go figure!
ReplyDeleteHey love all your work that I see here. Your DPW's road is really nice. I missed it on the site. Glad I came over for a visit. d
Makes me want to dive in.
ReplyDeleteI like strong paintings too. This one and the orange landscape are VERY appealing to me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog!
Janet,
ReplyDeleteThere is something Diebenkornesque about this piece. I like it.
