24″ x 30″ acrylic on canvas. Companion piece to Orange Sun Over Wheat. Special memories…

One of my joys of becoming an artist was the chance to paint with my mom. Every time she visited I would set up two easels side by side and got a chance to learn from her. This had been my second painting, with dark green grass and a brilliant blue sky, but it jus didn’t work. I started painting over it with a spatula with orange and red. Mom looked over at my piece and simply said “I think you’re done”. That is something that is hard to figure out on an abstract painting. But she was right.
