"Fairy Prairie" by Li Hua Mahalik


Oil on Canvas, 14x18

*****
This painting was based on a photo I took in yarnell that wasn't color correct because the printer sort of ran out of ink, but I thought it could be a nice exercise to see how I could make it work. 

While I was painting the bushy grass at the foreground, I suddenly realized why Van Gogh painted the landscape the way he did. The world is full of texture; how else can one paint, for example, the grass, to show how the wind had worked on it? The trees, and the winding roads.
