A second painting from this past Saturday afternoon when the sun did not shine: the view east towards the Savoy mountains from the Chenail farm on Luce Road in Williamstown, MA. Not much happening here but I like the simplicity of land and sky. The composition is similar to the day's earlier painting, a tree slightly off-center pushing up. I balanced the two trees, dark on light on the right, with two trees, light on dark on the left. It's not that I planned it that way, but I somehow emphasized some things that I was looking at. The rest, the bands of land and sky, just fell into place. I also used the Stobart limited palette. 9x12 oil on panel.
