Shadowland
by Marion Hedger
24x30cm oil on canvas panel.
The 30 painting in 30 days challenge has finished - Well it finished at
the end of September of course, I have just been a bit slow in collating
all my paintings and posting.
The 30 day challenges are fun and it really does make you think about
painting and producing art. Some work out and others are not so good but
it is the palette knife (or brush) miles that count. I included more
larger paintings than my usual 18x24cm than I normally do to allow
myself more freedom - sometimes making a composition fit on the smaller
boards is difficult, especially if, like me, you have a tendency to put
in too much detail. Consequently I had a many more not quite finished
paintings than normal.
I am gradually working my way through them adding the final touches. I shall share these as I go along.
Today's painting is 'Shadowland'. It needed more work on the shadows and
some touching up on the background colours. I am now happy with it and
it reminds me of the day we walked through the dappled shadows in the
woods at Chateau la Coste.
Here are some work-in-progress photos:
