Resurrecting a forgotten sketch

February 3, 2021

Mill Field in Winter 2021 10 x 10 oil on panel

This is painted on an old sketch that was lost in a box lost in my studio. In a vain attempt to clean up found this scraped down panel. “I’d better finish that” I said. So finish it I did. Forget the clean up. This is a phone pic but gives you the basic idea.

This is bottom land along the Delaware River. The Cochecton Grain Mill is across the street from the very big field. Every year they grow feed corn all around this rural area to make their feed products. One of two large grain operations in the area.

The undulating field. was hard to get in this little panel. This little composition was part of a bigger demo on finding a composition in a photograph. I hope to do that as a video this spring.
