This is an oil painting done on a tissued ground on canvas. The textured area is only under the grasses..the painting of the grasses was done by picking out with a palette knife after several colors and glazes had been laid down.. additional glazes were added,, and more scratching done until I called it "done".. hahah.. I'm pretty happy with this experiment on the textured ground. I will use it on more paintings for textural interest and it acually suits the landscapes here in South Carolina.. size is approximately 24" x 26" gallery wrapped and painted sides in charleston green (dark)..

This quality of result can only be achieved when someone is really good: WHICH IS THE CASE AS YOU CERTAINLY ARE!Super painting, I love it! XXXX AnaDavid Holcombe 29 Sep 2008
This reminds me a bit of Nelly's landscapes, part abstract and part naturalistic. The brush strokes in the foreground are wonderful, powerful and bold. The yellows contrast nicely with the brilliant blue. Rhea Gary, a Baton Rouge artist, does the same for Louisiana. You might want to check out her site.Heather Leigh Douglas 29 Sep 2008

oh this is great Marissa, that texturing really works...........and the colours are superb........I love the contrast between the grasses and thar bold blue........and the little hints of colour that highlight the dark trees on the skyline..........I really hope it gets the recognition it deserves in the State Fair..........do let us know how you get on :o))
