Ken Marsden Art


"Grass"
I just have to get better at photography and Photoshop. My painting is much better than this. Oh Well! I don't think this one is going to be entered into any competion. It is just a batch of grass and weeds along side the backroad we were travelling near Galena, IL...a real painting challenge. I guess it was a challenge for the automatic setting on the camera also. In real life the grass was almost glowing and was contrasted against shadows so dark they were almost black. Over hanging shrubs were yet another tone.
Like so many artists, I spend hours looking for a great subject to paint while often there is one right where we are if we would only look.
