Falls the Shadow

Falls the Shadow
10x8, oil on panel
The dance of light and shadow instantly drew me in.  My first time to the Battle of Carthage State Park, and I wanted to explore this place with my oils.  The warm, late morning sun stretched across the field on this perfect October day.  Leaves were rustling all around me as I set my easel up in the deep shade.  I have been trying different techniques of paint application - and on this day, I used a palette knife for almost this whole piece!  It is so liberating to try something new - like blazing a new trail!
