Farm Scene of Woman Sitting

Farm Scene of Woman Sitting, Horse in Background

Oil Paint · 2024 · 12" X 12"

This figure study places a seated woman within a pastoral farm landscape, accompanied by background figures and a horse, creating a distinctly rural narrative. Its strongest influence is Impressionism, particularly the use of color shapes and a deliberately softened background to establish atmosphere rather than meticulous detail. The oil technique relies on economical, expressive brushwork and careful color mixing, with earthy umbers and ochres balanced by reds, greens, and ultramarine. The result feels warm, spontaneous, and observational—capturing the relaxed stillness of a rural moment while allowing the surrounding landscape to remain painterly and suggestive.
