This is one of the largest paintings I've done to date. I find myself really drawn to the strong colors and simple composition: blue sky; grey/purple clouds, black & white barn and green field.
The image is from a photograph taken near Omaha, NE, south off Interstate 80.
The color pallete is even more limited than may be obvious: cobalt blue, napthal read, hansa yellow, titanium white, carbon black and raw umber. Almost everything contains some cobalt: the sky; the clouds, with some red and a touch of yellow; the gras with varying amounts of yellow and white; and even the barn. Raw Umber makes the barn look a bit more weathered and adds the shadows to the sunflowers.
