Driving around my
new neighborhood in Vermont, investigating possible painting
sites...just looking at the views. On a
gravel road ten minutes from home I came upon this fabulously
tree-infested, nicely cultivated property. The garden was tilled and
some stakes were up. No vehicles came by for the 3 hours I was there on
the side of the road. Then the clouds even decided to cooperate. A
perfect day for plein air painting.
This 16 x 20 was done on the very toothy Richeson pastel board (slate) with a mix of Sennelier and Great American soft pastels. framed in gold wood with glass. $450. To purchase this painting contact me at rtilley@rodricatilley.com
