Sprouting Yellow Corn

 

Sprouting Yellow Corn

Oil Paint on Canvas

40 H x 16 W x 1 1/2" D

July 2019

I finished this painting in the summer of 2019. I had a great time painting it. I was in the middle of taking an unofficial break from working in oil pastels. I felt the need to work with brighter more vibrant color for a while. This composition is a close up view of most of the action.

I always start my images from a picture I took of a seed I sprouted.

The series of oil paintings that includes Sprouting Yellow Corn, are meant to emphasize the candescence of the occasion, focusing more on the spectacle than the reality. So I only use the picture to help make sure the composition is based in reality. After the initial layers of the painting are blocked in I stop looking at the picture and start trying to rely more on how I am feeling about my subject as I work. 

Giclee Prints are available for this painting. Full size - 40 H x 16 W - $160 + tax and shipping - and half size - 20 x 8 - $85 + tax and shipping, both prints have a one inch white border around the image. In the photo below the original painting is on the right and the print is on the left.
