Small Wildflower Meadow Study

'Murphy Meadow' 5x7 pastel

Today's painting is another variation of a painting I did a couple of weeks ago. One of the exercises I like to do is try several variations of the same scene changing the size, orientation, underpainting choices to see how I can expand on one scene. I find that after I plan them out and paint a few I am no longer relying on the photograph and I am free to interpret the scene without boundaries. It keeps painting time interesting!
