odgen dunes late afternoon oil on canvas 11 x14 $150 unframed



   This painting, completed captures a dune scene in the Odgen Dunes in Indiana. Paths to the beach intersperse the dune grasses and as the sun sets in the west grazes the top of the grasses, casting cool shades. Looking north it appears that Lake Michigan can go forever. The lake, the sky and the beach were done with palette knife while the dune grasses were completed with brush. There may still be some additional changes to this painting-I may be redoing the grasses-attempting perhaps to have the tops a bit more orange. I do revisit paintings after they have been sitting for sometime. May rework them or even paint over them. Some I have done multiple times-perhaps it is a composition or arrangement that I like, would like to do it larger, or perhaps with a different color scheme, or even an alternate emphasis.
