Plein-air painting
Oil on linen-faced board in light wood tray frame 24 x 18 cm (27 x 21 cm frame)
Late August afternoon. The bench bowered by the walnut tree, viewed from the sunny lawn became an unconscious focus and took on an otherworldly blue. I was trying to limit the number of brush strokes, to link gesture with form. Three colours + white painted over a black background.
