Starting a large ground landscape...my point of view shifts as I sit and stand.
I am noticing the season, along with the light, changing before my eyes. One of the ferns began to yellow as a sat and painted. This kind of painting blows my mind...I get so cranked up but have to sit and slowly get to know each part as it relates to the whole. I am noticing things like the structural pattern of how the pine needles fall and cluster on the grassy hill!
I want the scale to be life size at the bottom ...I chose this site in part because two rare moccasin flowers are growing here along with white birch and white pine...thinking a bit about LePage's Wood Gatherer...the view up the hill and a bit about Shishkin....but mostly I am just trying to get my head around what I am seeing and how to see the whole thing and all the remarkable parts! I hope I can do it! I will keep you posted.
