Phoenix

24"x30" oil/canvas

Dug this one out of the ashes and touched up a woefully dark foreground. A summer farm scene in Pennsylvania. Back when the cicadas were buzzing and the stink bugs were stinking. If you haven't heard about stink bugs...you will.

Great strong dark and light!

Thanks Pam. I was going for good contrast originally but had the foreground too dark. I like this one now I think.
