Canola Field Painting


I did go back to paint the canola field. Standing in that field of yellow felt electrifying it was so bright. It was fun to use my yellowist yellow!

Flood


This past weekend, we had terrible rains in middle Tennessee. Some places had up to 15 inches over two days. This caused widespread flooding, road closings, bridges, cars, and homes destroyed. Even though we have a creek that runs in front of our house and it got higher than I have ever seen it, we had no significant damage. I give Many thanks to the Lord for keeping us safe.

A Beautiful Field


On my way to Triune to get animal feed, I passed a breathtaking sight. It was a field of yellow flowers that I thought might be mustard. I stopped by the road and while cars were rushing by, I did a ten-minute pastel. As I finished, the owner stopped to get her mail and I spoke to her. When I told her I was an artist and asked if I could paint on her farm, she graciously agreed. She told me the farm had belonged to her grandparents and the field was planted in canola (for canola oil).
A few days later, I went to paint. I got to stand in the field of yellow and it felt electrifying it was so bright.
This is the initial pastel that I did from the road.
