clover 5x5 oil on wood panel


When you are taking your walk everyday you should explore with your eyes. I live in a big town now, in a big apartment complex. I am living without those sweeping views of lakes, hills, and trees, without a person - or automobile - in sight. Painting from my previously drawn sketches and water color studies is satisfying enough, but when it comes to new material you have to do some searching. A lot of your search goes on in the grocery store, and that is good because you know that when you are finished when you eat it. When I walk every day (doctors orders) I hunt for a patch of nature, and in the past month I have painted four dandylion paintings, and this clover patch. There is a four- leaf clover included.
