In early May this year our family made a long drive from Oklahoma to Michigan to attend a wedding. Anytime I travel, I like to take my camera so that I can snap scenes that might inspire a painting or two. The dominant theme of this drive was farms. Of course, we were after all driving through the heartland!
Earlier I had done some practice pieces in pastel and so I thought it would be fun to distill a few of those scenes down to their geometric simplicity and represent them in a funky, colorful way, this time with acrylics. Each of these three, small cradled panels were designed to be a pop representation of these farms.
The Spring weather created bright, clear skies during the sojourn. I had fun snapping dozens of photos, and then cropping them down to an abstract level. Using bright, unreal colors in some of the pieces made for a really fun little project.

These are so cool! You really seem to have captured the values, and that is more important than true color! Love them!
Thanks Pam - they were tons of fun.
